Steps for STEPS

Coming April 2027

Get ready to lace up your shoes and make a difference. Steps for STEPS returns in April 2027, when we bring our community together to support young people with a disability and autism on their transformative independence journeys at STEPS Pathways College.

Steps for STEPS 2026

In 2026, our community walked together and sponsored our STEPS Pathways College students, raising $42,925 for independence education.

Thank you to everyone who played a part – every step forward helped us create a brighter future for our students.

Stay connected

There are many ways for you to make your impact.

Every donation helps us fund life changing independence education for young people with a disability and autism. Plus, all donations above $2 are 100% tax deductible so when you give, everyone benefits. Please consider donating today.

Visit our STEPS Pathways Charity webpage to find upcoming events and campaigns.
