OUR MISSION
S.O.A.R. Hospitality & Travel YLC, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit empowering youth in underserved communities to excel academically and lead in hospitality, travel, business, and entrepreneurship.
OUR VISION
To excel as an academic organization with nationally and internationally recognized programs, showcasing inner-city youth's potential while promoting values, integrity, respect, and academic achievement.
Tis’ the Season to Celebrate with S.O.A.R.!
Our community engagement arm is an extension of the work we do, where our mission is also to support our youth and their families with the basic essentials necessary to thrive. Things such as food, clothing, school supplies, hygienic products, and other necessities should be made available to these families without the worry of cost or limited accessibility attached to them.
On December 21, 2024 S.O.A.R. will be hosting our 3rd Annual "Tis the Season - Community Gift Back Celebration” @ the Anthony Amalfe Community Center - 1268 Shaffer Ave, Roselle NJ.
This event allows us to give back to those in need during the holidays, while bringing community leaders together to meet, collaborate, and strengthen their alliances, fostering a supportive outlet for the residents (and youth) in, and around, New Jersey. This is also a great opportunity for members of the community to network and learn more about each other, as well as S.O.A.R.'s programs and services. With your help, we will be able to make this event a huge success!
