DARE TO BE REAL.

Helping teenagers to discover who they are and what they can achieve with our experiential, character – development programmes.

Who are we?

We believe that exploration of the question “Who am I?” is a pathway to living an authentic life.

Young people's experiences are at the heart of everything we do. Our programmes are guided by their voices.

7 ground-

We have created 7 ground-breaking programmes, both in and out of the school system.

  • “Thank you for treating us like people not numbers. I know not everyone loved it but me and the boys hugged for the first time on the break”

    - TY Workshop participant

  • “Excellent format for the workshop. Student led but facilitators were able to encourage the students to open up more. Some students spoke more in the workshop than they have done in school ever”.

  • “As a movement SOAR bears witness to the fact of our human vulnerability and the need for acceptance, care and recognition on our various individual and sometimes shared roads to wellness”
