Jeunes qui s'engagent (50 € Engagement-Bonus) / Challenge des Jeunes (Créavenir)

What you get: 50 EUR bonus for young volunteers

You get a one-off 50 EUR paid into a savings account (Livret d'épargne) at Crédit Mutuel, as a reward for volunteering. Crédit Mutuel is a French cooperative bank. The bonus is for people under 26 who give their time to others. There is no income check and no classic application: you show proof of your volunteering and the money is credited. The offer runs until 31 December 2026 and you can claim it once.

Who can apply

• Age: You are under 26. If you are a minor, a parent or legal guardian makes the request for you.
• Your volunteering: You do a recognised form of volunteering. Examples: helping people with disabilities, working as a youth-camp leader (BAFA/BAFD diploma), coaching or refereeing sport, being a young firefighter, first-aid volunteer, Service Civique, festival volunteer where Crédit Mutuel is a partner, national reserve, or an active role in an association or youth council.
• Bank: You have or open a savings account at a participating Crédit Mutuel branch. The branches of Crédit Mutuel Océan, Maine-Anjou and Basse-Normandie do not take part.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

Bring proof of your volunteering to a participating Crédit Mutuel branch. The branch checks it and credits the 50 EUR to your savings account. There is no deadline beyond the end of the offer on 31 December 2026.

How realistic are your chances?

This is not a competitive scholarship but a fixed bank bonus. Everyone who meets the conditions and can prove their volunteering gets it. The only real hurdles are being under 26, holding a Crédit Mutuel savings account, and having valid proof of your volunteering. If those apply to you, the 50 EUR is essentially guaranteed.
