What is Salvos Schools
At Salvos Schools our mission is to educate, empower and equip young people to become vehicles for social change. We see an Australia where every student makes an informed and meaningful contribution to social justice.
Foundations
All of Salvos Schools' initiatives are built on three foundations:
Educate students about real-world social justice issues
Empower students to lead social change and meaningfully participate in society
Equip students with the tools and access to practical opportunities in order to make a positive contribution to social justice
