Mission Statement
Soar is a collective movement which believes that there is greatness within all young people. We act on this by creating and delivering early intervention-preventative wellness workshops inside and outside of the school system for young people aged 12 to 18 years from all backgrounds.
About This Cause
What is Soar? Our workshops empower young people to thrive, believe in themselves and fulfil their true potential. Within a safe and supportive environment, they are given the opportunity to be themselves and explore any challenges that hold them back from doing so. The workshops are centred on the belief that we are all on our own private heroic journey. We focus on the ordinary becoming extraordinary by encouraging open and authentic discussions between young people to increase self-confidence, awareness and self-belief, promote empathy and peer respect, increase resiliency and recognise core strengths and passions. Soar programs begin by developing an awareness of what influences us and stops us all from being free to be who we want to be. We use examples from popular culture such as; films, books, videos and people that are interesting and age relevant to shape this discussion and build a connection with young people. We stay well away from all of the usual clichés and never tell young people what to do, say or feel. We encourage young people to express themselves authentically and we create an atmosphere that is safe for them to do so. By empowering each young person to take ownership of their lives and exploring what is important to them, Soar is igniting a major shift in attitude amongst young people all around Ireland.
