Introducing young people to concepts of social justice early allows them to inform their own values, lets them know they’re part of something bigger and inspires them to get involved. By developing an appreciation of the world around them, young people have an opportunity to learn that, whatever they’re going through, they’re not alone.

Get your school involved

If you are looking to get involved by volunteering, Red Shield Appeal and Christmas are the best times to do so as there are many opportunities for group volunteering. Please contact Joel Campbell (joel.campbell@salvationarmy.org.au) to explore ways to get engaged.

Your school has the opportunity to support the work of The Salvation Army in a number of ways.

Fundraise

Giving is a feel-good thing. By fundraising for us you can spread that feeling around. You can help us, help people who come to The Salvation Army for assistance every year.

Even if you're not able to donate money, there are a number of ways you can help us raise the funds we need to deliver our programs. The best part is, you can use your imagination and choose how you would like to contribute.

Organise your own fundraising event

At school you can hold an event such as a Salvos' School Red Day, a sausage sizzle, a school concert, a cake stall, or anything else you can think of. Feel free to invite a representative from Shire Salvos to come and speak at your school to promote the event.

Contact Joel Campbell (joel.campbell@salvationarmy.org.au) to find out more about ways to fundraise for Shire Salvos.
