The Geneva Foundation for Sociocultural Animation is a partnership institution, funded by the Canton and the municipalities, whose mission is to promote and maintain social cohesion in the Canton of Geneva, i.e., to ensure the quality of the relationship between individuals and society. Through field-based socio-educational, sociocultural, and associative actions carried out by centers and out-of-walls teams, the Foundation meets the needs of the population in terms of meeting, exchange, solidarity, citizenship, and quality of life, with a general objective of preventing social disengagement.

ABARC's mission is sociocultural animation and individual support for young people aged 15 to 25. It aims to promote their socialization, promote inclusion and autonomy, as well as the empowerment of young people. ABARC welcomes all young people, without distinction of background, gender, origin, or religion, and this, without conditions or registration. They are considered partners, the fundamental principle being to act WITH them and not FOR them.

ABARC aims to be a place of reception and support with a systemic approach towards young people. Special attention is paid to young people in social, family, school, or professional breakdown, who are more exposed to risky behaviors.
