Great coffee. Life-changing opportunities for young people.
A local favourite with a big heart
The Dove Ballina is a 5-star café loved by locals and visitors alike. But beyond the friendly service and delicious food is something even more meaningful — real support for young people as they build their futures.
As part of Wesley Mission, The Dove offers hands-on employment and hospitality training to young people, including those living in foster care and others facing significant challenges.
Every shift at The Dove is an opportunity to learn, grow and become part of a supportive community.
Changing lives through coffee
What we offer young people:
- Practical, on-the-job hospitality training
- Mentoring and wraparound support
- A safe, inclusive environment to develop confidence and skills
- Pathways to employment and further opportunities.
The Dove is part of Wesley Mission’s broader work supporting children and young people. We walk alongside them as they transition into adulthood because every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed.
