SOAR 2026 was one for the books!
A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors, Elliot Health System, and Southern New Hampshire University for helping us bring this event to life. Special thanks to Rudi and our friends at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester who collaborate with us to make this day possible.
This year, 130 teens and 75 adults representing 42 businesses and organizations came together for a day filled with connection, exploration, and inspiration at the 4th Annual SOAR Conference.
Throughout the day, teens had the opportunity to meet professionals, explore careers they may have never considered, ask questions, build connections, and see new possibilities for their futures. Most importantly, they left feeling empowered, seen, and connected.
A very special thank you to Natanja Craig-Oquendo, CEO of the Boston Women's Fund, for delivering such an impactful keynote! Her story, authenticity, and powerful message resonated with our teens and reminded them of the possibilities that exist when they believe in themselves and their future.
And to all of our community partners, businesses, organizations, and volunteers, thank you for showing up for our young people and investing your time, energy, and expertise in their futures.
SOAR simply would not be possible without you!
