A second family
“I have learned what it’s like to have a family that isn’t blood-related. SOAR has helped me open up and talk about my problems.”
Feeling safe
“I love SOAR because it helps me feel safe, and I can get everything off my chest.”
Coming out of their shell
“It gets you involved. It gets you out of your shell. It helps you include everybody, no matter what, and become a better person.”
Looking forward
“I learned that SOAR can bring people joy and love, and I can’t wait to continue that in high school!”
“As a principal, I saw the value of having SOAR work with our students. They created a space where students felt heard, supported, and connected. That sense of belonging makes a difference in a school community.”
