CERICLUB is a structured community that builds trust, helps people grow, and turns collective commitment into concrete action in France and beyond.
We live in a world with more ways to communicate than ever, yet trust, mutual support and a sense of belonging are never guaranteed. CERICLUB starts from a simple belief: people move forward more strongly when they have a trusted circle, meaningful ways to contribute, and a framework that turns solidarity into action.
For us, rebuilding meaningful connection is not an extra: it is a human and collective priority.
That is the share of young workers facing feelings of loneliness in France.
Fondation de France, Solitudes 2024 study, press release of 22 January 2025.
To build an international community of trust where everyone finds their place, develops their potential and helps others grow.
A community able to turn mutual support into opportunities, projects and lasting impact.
To create spaces of trust, connect talent and mobilize our community to support people, move projects forward and deliver action that is useful to society.
From connection between people to impact on the ground.
“Connection brings us together. Commitment helps us grow. Action makes us useful.”
CERICLUB is a social innovation model built on social capital: trust between people, practical mutual support, shared skills and the ability to act together. Our model comes to life through three complementary programs.
CIRCLE is the community heart of CERICLUB: listening, mutual support, quarterly gatherings, solidarity in important moments, and shared experiences that strengthen trust.

Hosting a reception takes time, energy and complete trust in the people supporting you on the day. RISE Moment provides a reliable, briefed and supervised team so you can enjoy your event with peace of mind, while, behind the scenes, it funds the CIRCLE and IMPULSE programs.
1 team member · 3 hours
Set up the space, welcome participants or restore the venue.
2 team members · 4 hours
Welcome and guide guests, serve drinks and restock the buffet.
3 team members · 6 hours

From setup to tidying up, support across several stages of the event.
Team size, hours and tasks can be adjusted to the venue, the number of guests and your needs. Every quote is tailored.
Every team member is briefed before the assignment (role, schedule, point of contact) and acts with discretion and respect. RISE Moment is not a large event agency: it is a human-scale service, run by committed people, designed for the receptions that large companies struggle to support, or only at a high cost.
You tell us about your event: date, venue, number of guests, needs.
We suggest a suitable package and a tailored quote, with no commitment.
A dedicated team, briefed in advance, is by your side on the day.
A quick debrief after the event, to listen and keep improving.
Hello everyone!! Thank you so much for the evening, you were great!!! Flawless organization. Everyone was very happy with your services!
RISE Moment is a solidarity service born from CERICLUB’s RISE program.
Since 2025, CERICLUB has been testing its model in very different settings: events, volunteering, local solidarity, social action and international initiatives. We are progressively documenting what we do so we can learn, improve and make our impact visible.
5 members supported guest services, logistics and volunteer coordination over three intensive days, a practical test of our ability to serve as a team.
A solidarity initiative designed around children with autism and their families, combining care, organization and shared moments. The project reflects our belief in meaningful human action before visibility.
14 participants gathered for a creativity and structuring workshop, in service of their own projects.
10 members and 3 volunteers supported the event over two days across service, bars, cleaning, dishwashing, guest support and general operations.
15 participants for a friendly afternoon designed to welcome new members.
80 kits distributed and 15 volunteers mobilized, as part of a sports and solidarity tournament.
4 volunteers supported the event team. A simple, concrete action true to our culture: contribute before seeking visibility.
A quarterly gathering that links cities and keeps mutual support flowing between members.
CERICLUB brings together different backgrounds, skills and territories around one principle: belonging gains meaning when it becomes contribution. Our Ambassadors commit over time; our volunteers strengthen our actions when they are available.
These three principles protect the way we build together. They come to life through our 5Cs.
Here, belonging is not measured by a name on a list, but by the quality of relationships, reliability and each person’s contribution.
The foundation. Without it, no circle holds.
Moving forward together rather than side by side.
Looking for the answer nobody has put on the table yet.
Giving what we can give, without keeping score.
What makes commitment sustainable over time.
CERICLUB is guided by an Executive Board and a Board of Directors responsible for protecting the mission, transparency, community standards and program delivery. By 2030, we want the CERICLUB model to be easier to transmit: to enable several territories to carry the same DNA with consistency and autonomy.
Our responsibility is to turn solidarity into real impact.
We are not looking to collect names. We are looking for people who want to build meaningful connections, contribute to the community and act with purpose. There are several ways to get involved depending on your time, motivation and availability.
I want to commit over time.

Above all, we look for people who can listen, respect differences, keep their commitments, take initiative and contribute without waiting for everything to come from others. Kindness does not exclude high standards: it gives them a human framework.
CERICLUB grew from a simple need: to be able to rely on one another, then turn that trust into the ability to act.
What began through personal bonds, gatherings and practical support became a structured community project. CERICLUB aims to show that a community can be both warm and demanding, personal and useful to the common good.
Our model is built on social capital: trust, relationships, shared skills and habits of cooperation that help people navigate challenges, develop projects and contribute to the communities around them.
