What We Do

Seeing Our Adolescents Rise (SOAR) is a community-based organization that is known for working outside of the box with multicultural and marginalized youth, between ages 7-19, using innovative and comprehensive approaches. SOAR provides mentorship, educational support, community service opportunities, individual and group therapy, community events, and adventure activities to a population whose needs influence their ability to live day-to-day. The vast majority of the youth in SOAR programming have been involved with the juvenile justice system and are getting back on track with guided support from SOAR. They may have cases concerning truancy, sexual offense, violence, homicide, etc. We are a non-restraint program and thus cannot work with youth who have high physical or behavioral risks.

How We Do It

As a community-based organization serving at-risk youth ages 7–19 across the Denver Metro area, SOAR is committed to meeting young people where they are and helping them move forward. We achieve this by:

• Tailoring our programs to meet the specific needs of the youth we serve, ensuring each experience is meaningful and impactful.
• Recognizing and respecting the multicultural backgrounds of our adolescents and appreciating how this influences personal growth and progress.
• Building strong connections with each youth based on understanding of their family values, communication styles, needs, and emotions.
• Taking an innovative and comprehensive approach that sets SOAR apart in how we engage and empower the young people in our programs.
