HOPE CO-OP
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE
owned by and for people of asylum seeking background
HOPE Co-Op is a member-owned and run workers' cooperative.
Our VISION is for full social and economic inclusion for people of asylum seeker background in Australia.
Our MISSION is to support asylum-seeker background students in achieving sustainable education and employment outcomes.
Our members, including our board, are mostly tertiary students who have sought asylum in Australia, and are now studying at TAFE or university.
At HOPE, wellbeing is at the forefront of everything we do. Individual support and community cohesion are the core of everything we’re working for. Our programs and activities aim to be a catalyst for community members to reach their goals and fulfil their potential.
WHAT WE DO

MEMBER DINNERS
A meal together
With HOPE Co-Op's mission always in mind, we strive to help our members through making positive connections. At our member dinners, we get to know each other, welcome and introduce new members to allow them feel belong. Become a member and join us for a meal!
We have one at least every 2 months, at the Eighth Day Community Centre, 4 Miller St, West Melbourne.
COMMUNITY DINNERS
Expanding and connecting communities
HOPE Co-Op belongs in and is part of the wider community of Australia. We want to keep expanding and strengthening connections between us all. Individuals, organisations and institutions are welcome to join us for a meal, hear our stories and learn more about our skills, experience and potential.
We hold Community Dinners at least twice a year. Keep an eye on our up-coming events , or email us at for more information.
A WEEKEND AWAY
Stress relief and positivity
At HOPE, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts helping our community. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite our members to learn about each other and share their stories to the broader community. A weekend away from the stress and worries help our members to focus on their goals while enjoying the nature, hear wonderful stories, and experience the unforgettable.
Special thanks goes to our friends and partners at AIRAR and in the Beechworth community for hosting homestay weekends.
We look forward to more times together in the coming year!
