Social Opportunities Activities and Relationships (SOAR) provides an opportunity for children on the waiting list to be matched with a mentor.

This is a group program where volunteers and children get together for 2-3 hours per week, on weeknight evenings to spend time in the community.  Each session lasts for 12 weeks.

There are currently 3 groups:
SOAR girls aged 7-16years
SOAR junior boys aged 7-12 years
SOAR senior boys aged 13-16 years

SOAR volunteers are adults over 18 who wish to share special skills, are enthusiastic and reliable and have access to a vehicle. 

Typical activities include bowling, mini-putt, museum tours, crafts, sports, movies, swimming, games, educational workshops, woodworking and fishing.

The SOAR program is supported in part by the City of Hamilton/WCB Program.

Volunteers provide learning activities for children and youth in a group format. Areas of focus include Special Events, Recreation, Sports, Personal Development and Volunteer Work in the community. Volunteers are paired with children for 2 hours a week over a 12-week period.
