Association la Fontanelle

Since 1987, La Fontanelle has been supporting young people in difficulty in French-speaking Switzerland (aged 14 to 18) by offering them temporary accommodation to enable them to get back on their feet and find a positive direction in life. Thanks to approaches tailored to individual needs, our association offers:

✔ Two shelters:

• A home for girls (8 places) in Vérossaz

• A shelter for boys (9 places) in Mex

✔ Educational adventures: 3- to 4-week stays abroad to promote independence and personal growth.

✔ The Oxygène Program: Outpatient support over 4 to 5 months, enabling young people and their families to work together to build lasting solutions.

✔ Support for parents: Personalized support during and after placement, with outreach centers in all seven French-speaking cantons.

Our mission? To provide a structured and caring environment where every teenager can rebuild their life and look forward to a brighter future.
