MJF Jane Pannier (Maison de la Jeune Fille) is a Marseille-based non-profit organization founded in 1919, rooted in a Protestant and socially committed tradition. Its original mission was to welcome, protect, and support young girls who were isolated or in distress. Over a century later, the organization has evolved with societal changes while staying true to its core values: providing a safe and supportive environment for young people facing hardship.

Today, MJF Jane Pannier primarily works with young adults, with particular attention given to young women often affected by family breakdown, social exclusion, poverty, or violence. The association operates across four key areas:
– Supported housing (social residences, scattered apartments, CHRS)
– Personalized socio-educational support
– Specialized outreach in sensitive urban areas
– Social and professional integration

The organization is known for its comprehensive and humane approach, grounded in active listening, trust, respect for individual pace, and progressive empowerment. It works closely with public authorities, partner associations, social housing providers, and youth protection services.

With over 100 years of commitment at the heart of Marseille, MJF Jane Pannier remains a key player for vulnerable youth — a place for rebuilding, hope, and a stepping stone toward the future.
