STEPS Pathways Charity - STEPS Pathways College

Donate today. Change their tomorrow.

Help fund life changing, holistic education and support that empowers young people with a disability and autism to live independently and achieve their goals while building meaningful connections in their community.

Why support STEPS Pathways Charity?

We believe in the potential of every young person. But for many young Australians with a disability and autism, the path to independence isn’t always clear. That’s where STEPS Pathways College comes in, and where your support makes all the difference.

Your donation helps provide specialised education, personalised support, and life changing experiences through STEPS Pathways College, the first and only program of its kind in Australia.

More than that, you’re giving our students the opportunities and confidence they need to grow and plan for a future filled with possibility.

What your support means

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, STEPS Pathways College students are empowered to embark on a life changing journey towards an independent and fulfilling future.

STEPS Pathways College is the first and only College of its kind in Australia, offering a unique ‘live and learn’ experience for young adults with a disability and autism.

Our students learn more than just practical skills, like cooking, budgeting, and preparing for employment; they become empowered to follow their aspirations and discover their full potential.

With every lesson, every friendship formed, and every challenge overcome, the students develop the confidence to take control of their future. They leave STEPS Pathways College with skills for everyday life, a renewed sense of self-worth, purpose, and the knowledge that they can live life on their own terms.

Join our STEPS Pathways Charity 100 Connect community by pledging $100 per month and help us transform lives all year round. Your regular donation supports STEPS Pathways College and helps us plan long-term for student success by funding classroom resources, excursion activities, and educational experiences. Whether you’re a local business or a compassionate individual, your commitment powers change.

As a 100 Connect member, you’ll be part of a network of local life changers.
