The Barista skills program provides on-the-job experience, mentored by our in-house Barista at The Mish Kiosk.

Operating weekdays from 8 am – 1 pm, the Kiosk operates as a social enterprise with proceeds raised through sales, supporting City Mission’s youth programs and services.

Participants maintain a weekly shift where they learn to make delicious coffee, hone their customer service skills, operate point of sale systems and work safely.

Participants must be over the age of 16 and complete an online Foodsafe Course prior to participation.

During school holidays, Mish mentors facilitate a range of activities including rock climbing, museum visits, bush walks, laser tag, gaming days and more.

Participants have the opportunity to get out of the house, experience new activities and socialise.
