Empowering Lives. Building Futures.
our
vision
A thriving community where every individual has the opportunity to heal, grow, and achieve their full potential through empowerment, support, and sustainable opportunities.
SOAR Community Empowerment Association is committed to uplifting vulnerable individuals, youth, and families, including those battling addiction, by providing sustainable employment, skills development, mentorship, and recovery support. Through collaboration, advocacy, and community integration, we strive to break cycles of hardship and build a future of hope, resilience, and empowerment in Edmonton.
To glorify God by faithfully stewarding the people, resources, and opportunities entrusted to us—empowering lives, restoring hope, and leaving a lasting, positive impact on everyone we serve and connect with.
From the start, SOAR was built on a foundation of faith, integrity, and the belief that every person holds unique value and potential. Guided by principles rooted in God’s Word, our Purpose shapes how we lead, serve, and grow — not just as an organization, but as a movement of hope.
We keep this Purpose at the core of all we do — from the smallest interactions to the boldest dreams — because we believe every step forward is an opportunity to lift others up. As we grow, we remain committed to cultivating a culture of compassion, purpose, and resilience, helping others to truly SOAR.
