Welcome to

The Underground Collaborative

We exist to provide employment to educate and empower women and young people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness in WA.

Educate

Educate

We aim to create safe learning environments for our team, and to educate our community through sharing stories and having meaningful conversations to positively influence attitudes, behaviours and beliefs whilst overcoming common misconceptions and stigmas surrounding homelessness.

Empower

Empower

When you empower another person, you're providing the agency for them to choose while investing in yourself and taking a risk that has the potential to change someone's life. Additionally, you're simultaneously enriching yourself with their story, culture and purpose.
