To encourage young people to stay in school and be physically active and to reduce delinquency among disadvantaged youth, Luc Richer created Motivaction Jeunesse, an initiative to inspire youth through outdoor activities. In addition to being very effective at integrating new arrivals, this organization instills core values, including perseverance and effort, in young people while giving them the opportunity to enjoy the positive benefits of participating in sport.
