School Perseverance Program
Since 1994, Opération Bonne Mine, a school perseverance program established by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul of Montréal, has been providing concrete support to children and youth from low-income backgrounds. Our mission: to promote academic perseverance and help break the cycles of poverty and exclusion.
Each year, we support families, students, and school teams through tangible, human-centered initiatives:
-
A back-to-school financial aid campaign to ease the burden of school supplies and fees.
-
Academic perseverance scholarships to recognize the efforts of young people.
-
Art therapy projects in schools, providing students with a space for self-expression and well-being.
Operating in Montréal, Laval, and the L’Assomption RCM, Opération Bonne Mine firmly believes that every child deserves the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.
