Driven by her courage, dynamism, and creative spirit, she engages the team, the board, and volunteers through a collaborative, results-oriented management style.

Yousra André

Volunteer Services coordinator

I grew up between France and Morocco, studying law and feminism in Lyon and Montreal. Through my intercultural background, it is human connections and collective relationships that have always fascinated me. I have had the opportunity to coordinate programs and volunteers in a variety of contexts—community, public health, and grassroots initiatives. Joining the CABM team to help promote volunteerism and thus contribute to building a more cohesive, locally organized society in Montreal gives me great pleasure.
