The Youth and Culture Center is a non-profit association established in the Saint-Just neighborhood at 6 rue des Fossés de Trion in Lyon's 5th district. It was founded in 1966 by activists in the popular education movement. After occupying various locations in the Saint-Just neighborhood, it became permanently established in 2008 in new facilities adapted to the needs of its users, enabling it to expand and welcome over 1,000 members by 2018. For 50 years, the Saint-Just Youth and Culture Center has aimed to create social bonds among residents. It operates a recreational center for children aged 6-11, a cultural division, a youth division, and manages a wide range of socio-cultural activities open to all audiences—children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.
