Pathway of Hope

The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope is a free, empowering program that walks alongside parents and carers to help create brighter, more stable futures. Hobart (sites TBC) and Devonport are pilot sites.

We focus on what matters most — your children’s wellbeing and your family’s goals. With the support of a dedicated caseworker and your local Salvos team, you will build on your strengths, overcome challenges and feel connected, included and supported.
Because every child deserves to grow up in a strong, resilient and caring family.
