R3USSIR IS LOOKING FOR THE BEST BOSSES IN ESTRIE 🏆

“My Boss Is the Best” contest gets off to a strong start, with over 220 entries in just one week!

For its 7th year, we are inviting young people to nominate employers who support their work‑study balance and encourage their educational success. Until April 12, youth can submit their nominations and explain how their employer supports them in their academic journey. In total, nine employers – one per MRC – will be recognized as the Best Bosses and as employers committed to educational success

The Contest, Live in the Community!


Since the contest began, booths and activities have been set up in various locations, in collaboration with the Estrie Youth Employment Centers, to promote the contest and raise awareness among young people about the importance of balancing school and work.


👉 Spread the word within your networks and encourage youth to participate!

À GO, on lit!  Connecting with High School Students

This winter, two À GO, on s’jase! sessions brought together Grade 7 students on February 16 at École de l’Escale (Val-des-Sources) and March 17 at École du Phare (Sherbrooke). Organized by R3USSIR and the school communities as part of  À GO, on lit!, these events were a great success.


Warm welcomes, flawless organization, and inspiring creativity made these moments truly memorable for the students. And what about Kevin Raphael! Generous and engaging, he took the time to connect with students— even granting an interview to student radio stations!


Thanks to the school communities, À GO, on lit! and Kevin for their dedication and invaluable collaboration!

Let's Elevate Our Practices

Work-Study Balance: Strategies and Actionable Insights to Support Youth

What strategies do young people use to better prioritize their studies and manage their time? How can educational partners concretely support school perseverance among working youth?

Réseau réussite MontréalComplice - Persévérance scolaire Gaspésie-Les ÎlesCarried out in partnership with the Chaire-réseau de recherche sur la jeunesse du Québec (CRJQ)this review analyzed over 266 documents and highlights key findings and actionable recommendations to better support youth.

Student Employment: A Growing Reality for Youth

Between 2006 and 2024, more and more young people are balancing school and work. The increase is especially notable among 15-19 year olds (+11 percentage points) and 25-29 year olds (+14 points). In both age groups, part-time work has become an increasingly popular choice.
