Are you interested in helping others with their basic English skills or would you like to help school age children with their homework? Our culture and communication volunteering programs make a real difference.

Our vital CHAtS programs help people cope with their studies and adjust to life in Australia, and are:

Held at Curtin’s Bentley and Kalgoorlie Campuses (CHAtS Bentley and CHAtS Kalgoorlie), in conjunction with Curtin English (CHAtS ELICOS) and in the Town Victoria Park (CHAtS Town of Victoria Park)
Attended by mainly ESL (English as a second language) students
Designed to develop English skills through fun, conversation-based activities
