We believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Our education recovery program SOAR! provides young adults between the ages of 16 to 24 who have left the traditional school system an opportunity to complete their education by earning a high school diploma.

Progressive Education:

SA Youth's SOAR! program provides young adults a second chance to recover a high school diploma while learning marketable skills at the same time. Members are directed through a structured online and class-based curriculum.

Leadership Development:

At SA Youth, we create a safe environment where young people are free to learn and everyone is valued, guided, and taught leadership qualities, which directly enhances their growth in self-confidence.

Workforce Training:

 Our SOAR! program offers young people the opportunity to not only earn their high school diploma but also prepares them for the workforce. Members acquire knowledge and skill sets to work in the construction industry.

  • Between the ages of 16 and 24.
  • Dropout or have educational needs.

A community organization can only thrive in its mission with the community's full support. 

Giving your time to make a difference in a child's life is one of the greatest gifts a person can give. Our children crave adults who take an interest in them. Nothing can be more precious and enduring than the happiness you can create in the world by being a part of a child’s growth. Please take the opportunity to visit with us and become involved in our mission.

All you need is a desire to make a difference. If you have a passion for making a difference, becoming involved in your community, and helping our inner-city youth then volunteering is a wonderful way to show your support.
