Civic Service Mission: Promote Judo and Social Inclusion in La Garenne-Colombes

The Association pour Gymnastique Arts Martiaux 92 in La Garenne-Colombes has announced an upcoming Service Civique program designed to promote sportsmanship and the accessibility of judo training for all youth in the community. Starting September 30, 2026, the eight-month initiative will deploy three civic volunteers across local club gymnasiums to bolster community outreach, assist young practitioners, and drive social inclusion.

Mission Objectives and Core Focus Areas

The program targets individuals aged 16 to 25, an age range extended up to 30 for candidates with disabilities, with no diploma requirements for applicants. Volunteers will complete between 24 and 30 hours of weekly service, receiving a total monthly compensation of €620. This financial support is split between €504.98 funded by the French state and €114.85 covered by the host organization, the Association pour Gymnastique Arts Martiaux 92, operating from 50 rue Auguste Buisson in La Garenne-Colombes.

Club president Sayonara Lapoussin oversees the initiative, which centers on three foundational pillars: supporting judo class animations, promoting the martial art in neighborhood schools and colleges, and organizing social inclusion events. Volunteers will assist new practitioners, aid young athletes struggling with coursework, and coordinate homework help sessions before judo training begins.

School Outreach and Community Inclusion

Beyond the gym mats, volunteers will step directly into local educational establishments. Their responsibilities include introducing students to the core values of judo—specifically respect, perseverance, and mutual aid—through targeted initiation sessions, awareness workshops, and informational presentations.

The mission also prioritizes broader community cohesion. Volunteers will collaborate with young club members to propose new ideas for energizing association life, design discovery workshops for specific demographics, and stage civic-awareness events centered around sport. While individual volunteers will operate out of distinct gymnasiums, the cohort will regularly convene for club-wide events.
