Clemente Education Program
The Clemente Program supports people who have experienced setbacks in their education by providing free-of-charge classes, helping them re-engage with their community.
How we help
Clemente gives students a 'hand up' to reach their education goals. Our small classes are gentle, supported spaces with volunteer mentors available to give feedback and assist teachers.
Students who study with Clemente improve their writing skills to be able to attend further education or obtain work.

“Awesome content, loved that it was free (wouldn't have attended otherwise), loved the teacher's knowledge and think I was at a place where I was ready for this.”
