In 2002, Youth Employment Services and the “Fondation du maire de Montréal pour la jeunesse” (Montreal Mayor’s Foundation for Youth) jointly awarded our organization with a first-prize start-up grant of $5000.00 for our business plan, an award that is rarely granted to non-profit organizations. |

Our services are diversified and reach a varied clientele: children, adults, and the elderly, in different environments: hospitals, parties, home visits, etc. We adapt our services to fit the needs of the establishment and their clientele. |
|
We are establishing long-term partnerships with both health-care establishments and foundations. |
|
We also offer our artists artistic training and psychosocial support services, both of which are necessary but not readily available to most therapeutic artists in Canada. We are currently collaborating with Therapeutic Clowns Canada on an initiative to make those services available to other artists on a national scale. |
