Description

Le Tremplin is a nonprofit organization that is part of IAE (Insertion par l’activité économique) and operates within the social and solidarity economy sector.

 

As a workshop and program for integration through economic activity, Le Tremplin offers support and professional opportunities to unemployed individuals facing specific social and professional challenges.

Since 1989, Le Tremplin’s mission has been to integrate people who are far from the job market:  the long-term unemployed, recipients of basic social assistance, and young people without qualifications, through activities involving the sorting, refurbishment, and sale of secondhand clothing and goods.

Thus, the employees working at the facility are responsible for:

  • Receiving, recovering, and collecting clothing and various items donated by individuals or businesses
  • Sorting, cleaning, and refurbishing these items
  • Selling them at low prices in the three stores

As a player in the social and solidarity economy through reuse, our mission is to give a second life to items still in good condition that are no longer used

 

Two stores (République and Capouchiné) are open on Mondays from 2 PM to 6 PM, and Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 12 PM and from 2 PM to 6 PM

 

The Eco'Boutique offers items from the workshops of social integration organizations in the Gard region, such as: recycled or pallet furniture, tableware, and reusable linens.
