Our Supporters

Many generous individuals have contributed to our success with their time, efforts, financial support, and in-kind donations. SOAR for Youth, a new agency, would not have been able to achieve our goals so quickly without their help. We are very grateful for the support we have received from these individuals.

We have also been very fortunate in receiving advice, help, and financial assistance from several outstanding, locally well-known, and world-renowned institutions (see below). We value and appreciate these collaborative efforts and partnerships. They literally put wind in our sails and make it easier for us to charter towards our goals.

To help SOAR meet its camp needs, several Berkeley local markets, restaurants, cafes, and delis have provided their gourmet food as lunches and/or dinners for our young people and their chaperones. Their in-kind donations not only help SOAR reduce its costs and thus serve more youngsters, but to also give our young people wonderful experiences. We appreciate the generosity and partnership.
