SOAR Afterschool Program

This week is Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week! SOAR is only possible because of the people who keep it safe and fun for over 500 kids each day.
Thank you to our ✨ Program Leaders and Site Directors ✨ for creating an encouraging environment where kids can learn and grow!

Around the country, over 10 million children participate in afterschool programs each year. In AR, for every student in a program, 4 more are waiting for a spot. Every young person deserves access to high-quality afterschool experiences that positively impact their development. Skilled professionals make these experiences possible. Because of the important role afterschool professionals play in young people’s lives, they deserve recognition, investment, and support.
