Resources
Welcome to the Salvos Schools resource library. Here you will find teaching resources to support you to connect with social justice in the classroom.
The Salvation Army’s Social Justice Stocktake
In 2024, The Salvation Army did a nationwide Social Justice Stocktake to get to the heart of what people were seeing in their local communities. From there, we built a map of social justice priorities across Australia.
Download the National Report, view by state, or read the report for your local electorate to learn what’s at the heart of your community and the actions that can be taken to see greater justice for all.
