Mission
SO KIDS SOAR SKS, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT SECTION 501C3, PROVIDES LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAMS THAT EMPOWER YOUTH WITH PHYSICAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TO STRIVE, OWN, ACHIEVE AND REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL.
Program accomplishments
- SKS CLINICS ARE ADAPTIVE CLINICS HELD ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH FOR YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES. THROUGH OUR CLINICS, THOSE WITH PHYSICAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ARE ABLE TO COME OFF THE SIDELINES AND UNITE WITH THEIR PEERS. MANY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN BULLIED IN SCHOOLS AND ARE LEFT OUT OF ACTIVITIES WITH ABLE-BODIED CHILDREN. THE EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-CONFIDENCE GAINED THROUGH THE CLINICS WILL CARRY OVER FROM THE FIELD TO THE HOME, CLASSROOM, AND COMMUNITY, ALLOWING THEM TO REALIZE THAT THEIR DISABILITY WILL NOT PREVENT THEM FROM FULFILLING THEIR DREAMS. EACH CHILD IS PARTNERED WITH A VOLUNTEER TO LEARN THE ESSENCE OF TEAMWORK, HAVE A MENTOR, AND BOND OVER A SENSE OF CAMARADERIE. IN 2024, SKS PROVIDED 13 IN-PERSON CLINICS AND 13 DIGITAL CLINICS TO A TOTAL OF 182 PARTICIPANTS AND 237 VOLUNTEERS.Expenses $97,473
