Our Welcome Café provides young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds with a free 7-week barista training program.
This hospitality training program equips young people with barista skills, confidence, communication and customer service skills. It also provides our youth with work experience to pursue careers in hospitality and beyond.
Upon completion of the program, two trainees are selected and referred to the WISE Foundation run Gardens Club Café, where they transition to paid employment.
The Welcome Café operates pop up stations at key Multicultural Australia events such as LUMINOUS and MOSAIC.
Our team works with MYVP clients and local schools who have a current work experience program so their students can complete their hours in a safe and welcoming environment. We are currently welcoming students from St. James College and Milpera State High School.
Parivash gained barista skills at our Welcome Café before becoming a trainer and helping more than 30 young people develop confidence and skills for the future. Watch her story in the video below.

Multicultural Australia acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet today.
As the world’s oldest living cultures, we recognise that Australia always has been and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
We who come from many places pay our respects to Elders throughout all time and commit to learning from the knowledge, traditions, stories, spirituality, and experiences of Aboriginal people as we learn to live on their land.
We walk together in solidarity of the pain of the past, and in shared hope for the future.
