LLAMA, which stands for League of Latin American Migrants Australia, is an educational not-for-profit organization and registered charity dedicated to supporting the Spanish-speaking Latino communities in Australia. Our mission is to provide free quality services, programs, and activities that address the unique needs and challenges faced by this vibrant community.
Free Online English Classes
At LLAMA, we believe that language should never be a barrier to success. That’s why we offer free online English classes to help our community members improve their language skills and enhance their opportunities for employment and integration. Our classes are designed to cater to different proficiency levels, ensuring that everyone can benefit from this valuable resource.
Personal, Professional, and Wellbeing Workshops
We understand that settling into a new country can be challenging, which is why we provide a range of workshops to support the personal, professional, and wellbeing needs of our community members. These workshops cover a wide range of topics, including resume writing, job interview skills, financial literacy, mental health, and self-care. By equipping individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills, we empower them to thrive in their new home.
Integration to Australian Culture
One of LLAMA’s primary goals is to facilitate the integration of Spanish-speaking Latino communities into Australian society. We organize cultural events, celebrations, and activities that allow our community members to connect with each other and with the wider Australian community. These events provide an opportunity to showcase the rich and diverse Latin American culture while fostering understanding and appreciation among different cultures.
Referral to Support Services
We understand that individuals may require additional support beyond what LLAMA can provide directly. That’s why we offer referral services to connect our community members with the appropriate support networks and services. Whether it’s accessing legal advice, healthcare services, or social support, we ensure that our community members have access to the resources they need to thrive.
LLAMA is proud to be a driving force in empowering the Spanish-speaking Latino communities in Australia. Through our free services, programs, and activities, we aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can thrive and contribute to the Australian society. Together, we can build a stronger and more connected community.
