Services Provided by SOAR

Out of School Time Providers

The primary benefits of SOAR are embedded in providing professional development and support for the novice, experienced, and veterans in the afterschool arena.

For the program to be effective and make an impact, providers must stay on the cutting edge of best practices and implement-evidence and research based strategies. Gone are the days of putting children in a room, working on homework, playing a few games, and dismissing for the day.

To prepare our youth for 21st-century skills and jobs, we must implement innovative 21st-century programs that prepare students to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
