Our mission
The TRAC is a non-profit organization since 1987, whose mission is to intervene with people in difficulty in the South-West of Montreal. We work with a population aged 12 and over, through a significant and stable presence in people’s living environments. The type of intervention favored by our organization is non-institutional in nature, based on the founding principles of street work, which are volunteerism and confidentiality.
Why come work at TRAC?
TRAC is a supportive team to find solutions together, it is new challenges in intervention with the general approach to street work, it is collaboration with committed partners, it is above all, meaningful and human moments with the inhabitants of southwest Montreal. You will meet multiple faces with just as many different life paths, and you will thus immerse yourself in the heart of our community.
