Summary

After attracting 92,000 young people in 2016, then 125,000 in 2017, the Civic Service Agency aims to attract 150,000 in 2018. In 2017, 10,909 organizations were approved to host young people on Civic Service: non-profit organizations, local authorities and other legal entities under public law, mixed economy companies, social utility solidarity companies...

The Agence du service civique website allows volunteers to identify the missions and positions that interest them before submitting their application.

The 1er As of October, the website of the Civic Service Agency proposed 1,408 missions (5% of the total number of proposals) and 3,147 positions (out of a total of 95,227, i.e., 3%) directly related to digital technology (the term "digital" appears in the title of the mission).

These are mainly missions and positions (an organization can call upon several volunteers in the framework of a mission) in the fields of support, mediation or digital awareness.

  • 69% of them are described as solidarity and 24% as Education for All.
  • 95% of the positions offered are part-time.
A zoom on the 1,408 mission sheets (and the 3,147 associated positions) gives an initial idea of the diversity of the missions (training, accompanying, helping, assisting, etc.) and the target audiences (people who are far from the digital world, the elderly, seniors).

There is great diversity in the designation of the mission.

  • Only 64 proposed missions (134 positions) explicitly mention the functions of "digital mediator" or "digital mediation".
  • 65 missions (442 posts) describe the mission as that of an ambassador (digital ambassador, digital ambassador, ambassador of enlightened digital, code ambassador...)
  • 686 missions (1144 positions) describe the mission as "accompanying" or aiming to "accompany" people (Pole Emploi's proposals almost systematically use the following description: "Accompanist in the use of the new digital tools of Pole Emploi".

Pole Emploi is the main recruiter of young volunteers for this type of mission (with 389 missions and 614 positions), ahead of Unis Cité (an association that acts as an intermediary between the young volunteers it employs and the local authorities where they perform their civic service), and the Family Allowance Funds.

The verbs that come up most often in the description of the mission are "accompany", "facilitate" and "guide".

What the National Plan for Digital Inclusion provides for civic service volunteers

"Civic service volunteers are identified as actors working for digital inclusion. To guarantee the quality of their intervention as a complement to professionals in the field (digital mediators, social workers, agents of public service operators, etc.), an agreement will be signed between the Civic Service Agency and the Secretary of State for Digital Affairs to begin structuring a training offer for these volunteers on the themes of digital inclusion and mediation. The Ligue de l'Enseignement will be mobilized in particular.
