Impulso – Association Volontariat

The purpose of the Association, in France and abroad, is to combat poverty through economic inclusion and voluntary support provided to beneficiaries in need.
The Association implements all useful and necessary means to achieve its purpose, in particular:
Free support provided to women and their families in precarious situations, particularly Latin American women, in the development of their economic activities through the organisation of a micro-consulting programme in Latin America, and the provision of legal, accounting, financial and administrative advisory services to vulnerable populations.
This action aims to meet the essential needs of populations living in extreme poverty or severe precariousness, with a view to contributing to their social inclusion, promoting women’s rights, and supporting their empowerment.
Free support to associations through the provision of advisory services (creation, development, communication, business plans, etc.);
Organisation of sporting challenges aimed at raising donations for the benefit of the Association, in order to provide funding to beneficiaries of the Association’s activities, through solidarity-based financing partners;
Recruitment, training and deployment of micro-consultants for the benefit of the Association’s target populations;
More generally, any means likely to contribute to the achievement of its objectives.
The Association may operate in France and abroad, and carry out, on its own behalf or on behalf of third parties, either alone or in partnership, joint venture, economic interest group, or company with any other entities or individuals, all operations falling within its purpose, in any form whatsoever, directly or indirectly.
The Association may also acquire, in any form, any interests or participation in any French or foreign companies, businesses or enterprises, and ensure the control, administration and management of the aforementioned structures, where their purpose contributes to the achievement of the Association’s objectives.
The Association pursues a non-profit, secular and apolitical purpose. It fully embraces a social, philanthropic and educational approach by promoting the free transmission of knowledge and skills to vulnerable populations.

The Association’s activities are grounded in a popular education approach, understood as a process of individual and collective empowerment.
It is based on core pedagogical principles: learning through action, which values hands-on experience as a driver of skills development; peer-to-peer education, which fosters horizontal exchanges of knowledge, practices and experiences; and critical awareness-building, which encourages reflection on social inequalities, understanding of underlying systemic mechanisms, and informed action.
The Association aims to empower each participant to take ownership of their own journey, by valuing skills acquired through practice, and by encouraging critical thinking, cooperation, and civic engagement.
The Association places particular importance on the involvement of young people in the design, implementation and evaluation of its activities.
