Paris, France
DESCRIPTION
1A1 – COMPLETED
The Comgest Foundation supports the development of 1A1 which is a digital platform that helps young people aged 13 to 25 to find their way at school, to succeed in their studies and to find a job by putting them in touch with volunteers to meet their concrete, specific needs.
The vision is to become THE equal opportunities platform in France to meet all the needs (educational guidance, success in studies, professional integration) of young people aged 13 to 25 by accompanying 200,000 young people through 1A1 by 2025.
Article 1 fights for equal opportunity by supporting highachieving students of all backgrounds (social, economic and cultural), with an emphasis on recipients of state scholarships, and with a strong motivation (selection by application and interview). Article 1 helps talented students to find a mentor who will help them to choose and build their future with confidence and ambition

COMMENT FROM THE AMBASSADOR
Justin Streeter
Below are a few words from Kevin Tan who manages the project “1A1” CRM project, seed-funded by The Comgest Foundation:
“Today we currently accompany more than 1,500 young people, 400 of whom have completed their accompaniment (with very positive results). There are about 4,000 young people registered on 1A1 for almost as many volunteers (3,500 volunteers) and we continue to initiate more relationships every day.
Here are some verbatims from our registered youth and mentors:
MENTORS
– We have had a good exchange with my mentee over the last few weeks. She passed her BTS with flying colours and immediately landed a company in a field she was looking for. I’m very happy for her and it’s a great intergenerational experience of listening and sharing for me. Olivier H.
– I had a great young person to accompany, what energy and what a beautiful person :) I really enjoyed it! And I got a lot out of it too! Thank you so much! Laura P.
MENTEES
– My mentor always gives good advice, listens and is very available…frankly top notch! Very good surprise. Btiseme B.
– Thank you very much! I have just started the matching. Words fail me, but I would like to thank you once again for your efficiency and your superb association. Alexandre D.”
