Fondation du Dr Julien needs community support to continue offering quality care and services to vulnerable children and their families. Garage à musique equips and "orchestrates" the lives of hundreds of children and youth in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve based on an approach centred on respecting the fundamental rights of children. The program combines the collective practice of music with community-based social pediatrics, while also providing a space for learning thanks to their specialized school assistance.
