Jenny Beauchemin

Coordonnatrice des services aux organisations

Avant de rejoindre la Fondation, Jenny a consacré la majeure partie de sa carrière au milieu jeunesse. Titulaire d'une formation alliant les arts visuels, la psychologie et l'art-thérapie, elle a œuvré pendant huit ans au sein d'un organisme communautaire de Québec dédié au soutien des enfants défavorisés et de leurs familles. D'abord intervenante sociale, puis directrice du secteur d'intervention, elle y a développé une compréhension des enjeux sociaux ainsi qu'une expérience terrain face aux défis du milieu communautaire.

Animée par des valeurs profondes de justices sociale, d'empathie et d'engagement, Jenny souhaite mettre son expertise au service des jeunes afin de les accompagner dans la réalisation de leur plein potentiel. Pour elle, soutenir la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui, c'est investir dans un avenir collectif plus juste, solidaire et prometteur.
