WELCOME TO

The S.O.A.R America

Academy

An online video series

S.O.A.R. America was created for the gifted, the displaced, the unsupported, lost, overly shy, abused, and for fostered youth (between the ages of 16-25) who are interested in pursuing the Performing Arts.

This program is designed to assist in discovering one's gifts and talents, purpose, building healthy self-esteem and confidence, providing direction, and guidance, and helping create a path to achieve your greatest potential in life through your talents & gifts.

Our desire is to help you discover the greatness within yourself, so that you may be able to eventually share that greatness with the world in the manner you were created to.

*This is a God-based - spiritual (non-religious) program.

In 2020, Covid changed how we do business in America. To adapt to these changing times, we have put our program into a 30-video series and made it available online that youth all across the world can benefit from our amazing program.

Our academy was designed to support building healthy self-esteem, providing guidance and tools to succeed, and assisting YOUTH in pursuing their dreams in the Performing Arts.

If you are struggling with understanding and owning your gifts & talents, and/or getting them out to the world to enjoy, this is the perfect place to start.

Talent alone is not enough. 

There are many facets to the Arts & Entertainment industry. Knowing who you are and what you want is key!

If you are suffering from self-doubt, or depression, or have had thoughts of hopelessness, helplessness, and/or suicide, please consider taking this course.

This course was created specifically with you in mind. Too often gifted youth go unnoticed, passed over, discounted, or not taken seriously in their struggle, and depression turns to suicidal thoughts. It is proven, when you are engaged in activities you enjoy, you are more likely to develop self-confidence, hope, and self-value. While discovering your gifts, creating a vision for a foreseeable future, and having a plan to achieve it with the support and guidance you need, you CAN overcome it all!

Show Production Preparedness: Internship preparedness is offered for students who are interested in learning and working on the production.

Artist Development: Providing professional feedback for students' performance, delivery, content, attitude, presentation, image, and all aspects needed to be polished and professional.

Foster Youth: A program specifically for foster youth who will 'age out' and prepare them for a career outside of foster care. Additionally, for those youth who are 'displaced' and are living outside of their family home environment, similar to that of foster youth.

The S.T.A.R. Program: Starbucks Training Apprenticeship Reward Program is an agreement with Starbucks Coffee Company to hire our S.O.A.R. graduates who have successfully trained in our coffee shop, and place them in a management track program from barista to store manager, allowing the foster/displaced youth to have a career path upon exiting the foster care system, and high school.

*Foster youth 'age out' at 18 yrs of age when the foster care system releases them and they are suddenly on their own. Most of these youth have been shifted from home to home, city to city, and school to school with no foundation or security, therefore leaving them without the convenience to dream or plan their futures due to the constant attention to their continuous state of survival, upheaval, and readjustment to the many new experiences in their lives.
