So Kids SOAR

So Kids SOAR, a not-for-profit section 501(c)(3), provides life-changing programs that empower youth with physical and developmental disabilities to Strive, Own, Achieve and Realize their potential. We enable participants to SOAR through a suite of adaptive programming that includes athletic, recreational, and skill-building activities. The self-confidence and skills gained through these programs inspire each child to realize that their disability will not prevent them from fulfilling their potential. PROGRAMS OVERVIEW SKS Clinics SKS Clinics are adaptive clinics held once or twice a month for children with disabilities. Through our clinics, those with physical and developmental disabilities are able to come off the sidelines and unite with their peers. The empowerment and self confidence gained through the clinic will carry over from the field to the home, classroom, and the community, allowing them to realize that their disability will not prevent them from fulfilling their dreams. SKS Holiday Celebration The SKS Holiday Celebration is more than a seasonal party; it is our culminating year-end event that gives our participants (the beneficiaries of our free SKS clinics) the opportunity to “pay-compassion-forward”. The Holiday Celebration is a time for fun and philanthropy, and a reminder that their disabilities will not hold them back from reaching their potential. Your Path To Success mentorship program that provides communication, leadership, and vocational skill building for young adults with developmental delays and/or physical disabilities. Over the course of 3 months, the program will offer participants both skill-building workshops on topics such as resume development, interviewing, and formal e-mail communication as well as off-site group site visits, and opportunities to network. We seek for participants to walk away with meaningful relationships, new confidence, and real skills that allow them to pursue independence and gainful employment.
