What Students Say About Soar
The Soar program was an invaluable experience that allowed me to develop both my professional skills and environmental advocacy. Working with organizations like Dignity Health Sports Park gave me hands-on experience in sustainability initiatives and taught me how to collaborate effectively with corporate partners.

Soar 2025 Student
I’d always wanted a career in creative writing or criticism until a teacher suggested that I would enjoy a career in sustainability and encouraged me to apply to Soar. Now I’m going to school with the intention of exploring different types of science, particularly different facets of environmental science.

Soar 2023-24 Student
I was inspired by the Northrop Grumman executive who advised us to find a way to protect the environment in our future careers, no matter what we do. Largely because of Soar, I want to double major in environmental sciences and health so that I can continue studying this interconnection.
