Challenge
For ex-prisoners, the risk of re-offending is greater in the months following release from prison. We therefore need to be able to enable them to return to a setting very quickly, which can both train them in reception, catering and service jobs, while paying them.
Solution
Le Quai Liberté, with its restaurant aboard the Thalassa boat and its 1,000m2 guinguette on the quays of the Seine, intends to build a profitable model and turn difference into strength. This program promotes the reintegration of prison leavers and encounters by offering work, in an ordinary environment, to people far removed from employment in a demanding and caring setting.


Recent result
Le Quai Liberté has employed and trained 80 wakeboarders in 2 years, on different levels of autonomy.
The money will be used for
The funds raised will be used to finance the training costs and salaries of the wakeurs during their month of training. This is divided into 4 stages: immersion in the company, immersion in the job, immersion in the role, immersion in the team.
Goal
Train 15 Level 1 wakeboarders over the year 2023. These wakeboarders will divide their time between training (70%) and productivity periods (30%).

Changing their view - Changing our view
Created in 2014, the Wake up Café association accompanies prisoners who are motivated to be supported towards sustainable reintegration without reoffending. It offers full-time pathways aimed at a radical change in the person's path, tailor-made individual inside-outside support, and a self-help community, a pillar in the fight against recidivism and isolation.
