Soar is an all-ages community choir. Created to provide mentorship, community and belonging to underserved youth, adults and youth sing, side by side, supporting each other musically and personally.
We are here to soar bridging the gap between youth and adults in song.
We welcome all youth with a specific focus on serving those in adoptive families, foster homes, in kinship placement, and youth from single parent families. Creating a sense of community for these youth who often feel "other" or different from their peers has been a contributing factor to their long-term success.
To support our youth and their caregivers, there is never any cost of participation for youth in Soar.

But if you're looking for evidence-based data, there are numerous scientific studies, including this one, that demonstrate positive impacts of music, particularly in youth. Here are some of the findings...
- Each year of arts study was associated with a reduction in the likelihood that an adolescent would be suspended.
- Students of the arts are significantly more optimistic about their chances to attend college than non-arts students.
- Youth enrolled in music were less likely to consume alcohol or use marijuana during adolescence.
- Emerging adults who studied music scored higher on a standardized test of vocabulary.
- Former students of music were significantly more optimistic as adults.
- Former arts students were significantly less likely to be involved with the criminal justice system.
- Adults who had taken arts courses were 26% less likely to have ever been arrested. Each additional year of arts was associated with a 9% reduction in the risk of being arrested.
