Little is still known about street youth leaving the street, i.e. their street exit. In this article, we aim to address the question of street exit by using two studies, each of them with the same topic : a peer-intervention with street youth (Collectif d’intervention par les pairs). We intend to understand how the Collectif des pairs’ frame of intervention influences peer tutors’ life trajectories. The Collectif des pairs gives peer tutors a new role : it enables them to view the street from a more distant perspective while remaining close to the street, thus giving them the opportunity to engage in mainstream intervention. Nonetheless, beyond their participation, important stakes of recognition and non-recognition of street youth remain.
