SMILE

Supporting Migrants in Learning English

Free Conversational English Classes for Asylum Seekers, Migrants and Refugees

We are a team of volunteers from churches in Melbourne who care deeply about welcoming newcomers with open arms. Every lesson is an opportunity to learn, connect and grow together.

We understand that starting fresh in a new country can be hard, which is why we’re committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can learn at your own pace with people who truly care.
