WHY
A good education is irreplaceable. It forms
the foundation for a productive adult life. Each year some students
are unable to complete the school semester for various reasons.
Through the S.O.A.R. Program, the loss of this academic semester
need not be a complete loss. In the program, a student can continue
their education working with a caring adult who will help make
academic achievement and rewards a reality.
