Who are we?

A social life, for and with the people concerned

Amitie et Avenir was created in 1980 by a group of parents of young adults with intellectual disabilities.

The association, committed to fostering a social life for its members, offers volunteer-supported leisure activities throughout the year, organized in places open to everyone.

Activities are carried out for and with the participation of people with disabilities.

Their goal is to brighten everyday life, create connections, and help fight isolation and loneliness.
