Focused on community-based and relational approaches, our volunteer-driven programs are designed to empower and uplift those in need.
Our Programs
Main Programs
Food Relief
In our welcoming space, recipients are empowered to choose the food items that suit their specific needs, thereby preserving dignity and offering a sense of normalcy.
English Classes
The Empower English Classes Program offers four distinct levels tailored to students' needs, with classes held every fortnight. Each trimester includes nine lessons on practical topics, grammar review, and small group practice, building foundational English skills.
The program costs $10 and includes an English test that is required for all students, ensuring they are placed in the appropriate level and receive focused instruction in the areas they need most.
Street Team
Every month, the Empower Street Team breathes life into the South Melbourne and Epping social housing estate with a sausage sizzle. It's more than a meal; it's a safe gathering where residents can come together over food, a game of chess or enjoy team-building games. Personal stories are shared, and relationships grow, creating a strong sense of unity and belonging.
