About us

For Change Co. is a fast-growing social enterprise based in Melbourne with the mission of creating pathways out of homelessness for young people. We established Australia's first non-profit crepe van, Crêpes for Change, in 2015 and have since opened a coffee cart and four cafes across Melbourne (Middle Park, Brunswick, Bellfield and a corporate cafe at Lifeblood) – all of which host our training program participants. Along with this, 100% of profit from our work goes directly into our impact work.

Our amazing team is passionate and dynamic with big dreams of changing the world; sparked by the vision of eliminating youth homelessness. Our values of passion, transparency, collaboration, inclusivity, and agility come through every day in the work that we do and the outcomes that we deliver, with an ongoing focus of creating a diverse community committed to our mission.

Our goal is to measurably and sustainably change the lives of as many at-risk young people as we can. We aim to do this through creating pathways out of the homelessness cycle for the young people that we work with.
