A collective is a group of volunteers that is deeply involved in the community and supported by the Roulant through our physical, financial and human resources, in the development of projects related to social inclusion and food security.
The members of these collectives develop their leadership skills and initiate projects within the Roulant, all with a high level of autonomy in both management and decision-making. Check out the collectives’ pages to learn more!
