Classroom Counselor

The SOAR Program exists to impact youth Kindergarten-8th Grade in our program to excel academically, be challenged to grow mentally and be exposed to activities/games recreationally. We do this through a three-hour program Monday-Friday with a pool of 100 students that we have the privilege to mentor and nurture as a team so that the students can achieve more than they thought possible. We have many different classes and roles in our team with the same goal of being a special environment to expose the students of our future to something that will be great for them.
