Chai Time Women's Connect is a grassroots community initiative of The REED Collective. Our mission is to support women from diverse cultural backgrounds to improve their confidence, mental well-being, sense of belonging and economic outlook. We believe in an Australia where refugees and new migrants are warmly welcomed and settle well, celebrating cultural diversity and collective skills and strengths. We believe that every person is valued and designed to flourish.

The Chai Time Women's Connect creates a safe, friendly and nurturing space, underpinned by sharing cups of tea, stories and learning together. This is empowering a community of multicultural women by unlocking skills and dreams by providing space to build their confidence and self-esteem, enabling them to discover who they are and the person they want to become.

We will engage the “learning by doing” model to enable accessibility to all levels of skills and abilities, allowing the women to participate in a new skill development through this collective. We learn by doing. We share knowledge, we support each other and together we grow!
