Perspective Jeunesse is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support young people experiencing personal, family, academic or social difficulties, with the aim of promoting the prevention of school and social dropout, school reintegration and socio-professional.

Maçonnerie Gratton has joined this organization in order to allow young people to experience a trade in the field of masonry in the form of an internship. We also welcomed two young people, Moise and Tapio, within the framework of this association. We are happy to contribute to the success of young people in difficulty in our society and to do so thanks to Perspective Jeunesse.

Tommy Bouillon, president of Maçonnerie Gratton, is an ambassador for the À Go, On lit! in the Montreal area. Involved with young people and their academic success, Tommy promotes reading among young people aged 14 to 20. He tells these young people that his career is partly due to reading. He learned on his own about an aspect of his trade that was not taught in school: masonry from the 1920s to the 1970s. 

Another book that brought him a lot is "Everything is played before 8 :00” by Hal Elrod, because Tommy is a man who comes to the office very early in the morning. He is very productive before 8:00, he remembers that from his mother!

Maçonnerie Gratton wants to apply its expertise and positioning to promote the reuse of bricks and thus avoid significant economic and environmental losses.

His initiative aims to educate about the benefits of this circular economy practice of reusing bricks on masonry renovation sites in Quebec.
