Young people who interrupt school before obtaining a diploma are more likely to face adverse situations. Being self-determined promotes perseverance in the school, and therefore supports the success that leads to get a diploma. A response to three basic needs (autonomy, competence and belonging) optimizes self-determination. If the school environment can help support these needs, some young people meet them in the youth centers. Consequently, the work of community workers in youth centers is essential, but remains unknown. This study focused on support for young people’s self-determination by community workers in a youth center in a pandemic context. The article first presents the analysis of the Facebook page of this organization to describe their activities. Subsequently, the results of the interviews conducted with community workers (n = 11) make it possible to identify the support they offer to the three self-determination needs. The obstacles that hinder this work are also presented.
