Maison des Cultures aims to support people made vulnerable by age or disability. Through the creation of shared housing and actions to foster meetings, sharing and mutual aid. Being a volunteer at Maison des Cultures means discovering an alternative model to traditional nursing homes or conventional facilities. It means having a different perspective on aging or difference. It means taking part in activities, outings, and creating a privileged bond with the people involved. It also means helping Maison des Cultures continue its activities through skills-based volunteering (communication, administration, etc.). Maison des Cultures created the first shared and supported housing dedicated to people with Alzheimer's disease in Seine-et-Marne. A human-scaled living space in which each person is supported while maintaining their living habits and life projects, with and despite the disease. You will work within a small cooperative, rooted in its community, in which each person's contribution is visible and participates in the development of our activities.
