Our Board Members
Madame Julie
Madame Julie is studying Psychology and Sexology at the University in order to try to work for a world in which men, women, children, politicians, parents and youth educators have protected and free sexuality.

An active member of the community, she is dedicated to fostering understanding and inclusion; she serves as a mentor and is deeply committed to the work of SM Entraide. She aims to share her experience through mutual aid and mentoring, helping everyone live life to the fullest on their own terms. Drawing on the skills she has acquired as a mental health worker and future specialized nurse practitioner, she uses her experience to raise awareness, share knowledge, provide information, and assist those in need. She has served on the Board of Directors since 2026.

Our committees
SM Entraide relies on three essential committees that actively contribute to meeting the organization's needs.
Each of these committees plays a key role in our development and impact within the communities. Composed of committed volunteers, they meet regularly to exchange ideas, reflect, and advance our actions on the ground.
