• a mission of general interest of at least 12 days or 84 hours. The community service may be conducted near the adolescent’s home. It is compulsory, within one year of the stay of cohesion. It can be carried out in associations, uniformed bodies, public services... And is prepared during the cohesion stay, with the help of the tutor and the supervising staff, who help the volunteer define a precise mission.
• if the volunteer so decides, he can then commit, over a period of 3 months to 1 year in the department of his choicebetween the ages of 16 and 25. The missions may concern defense and security, support for people, heritage preservation or the environment.
