Description
At the MJC, culture is a central activity of our associative project. We offer our members the opportunity to take part in cultural, sport, music, health activities. Within the youth team of the MJC, the volunteer will be an ambassador of culture and discovery in order to encourage the young rural populations of the territory to get involved and learn more about different cultures, nationalities, art in all its shapes, etc. Consequently, your daily routine will be enriched, and you will be able to find and follow your passions.
