STREAT is a hospitality-based social enterprise that tackles this problem by providing vocational training and holistic personal support to young people aged 16-24. We aim to provide a sense of connection, safety and inclusion to our young people so they can thrive in all parts of their lives. We want them to feel a sense of belonging at STREAT, and know deeply that we’re here to help them achieve a healthy self, healthy job and a healthy home.

HEALTHY SELF

We provide wrap-around support including individual case management, linkages to other specialist service providers as needed (drug and alcohol, mental health, housing services), group Work Readiness programs, and creative and social activities.

HEALTHY JOB

We provide a range of hospitality programs including accredited certificate courses, work experience programs, and short courses. We also provide workplace training and mentoring for each young person across STREAT’s inner Melbourne cafés and production kitchen. As a social enterprise, STREAT reinvests 100% of profits back into supporting and training youth.
