SOAR Philanthropic Society is a registered non-profit organization in British Columbia fostered by a large group of highly motivated students seeking to make a positive impact within the community. SOAR provides financial assistance to graduating high school students wishing to attend post-secondary institutions. We at SOAR believe that students will be able to achieve academic excellence and reach their highest potential in all their endeavours by providing a chance for students to obtain a post-secondary education.
Vision
Our vision at SOAR is to create a pathway between the youth in the Lower Mainland with the resources they require in order to reach their full potential and success in life. At the end of the day, we want each and every student to have an equal opportunity when applying to and attending post-secondary institutions.
How SOAR Started
The idea and vision behind SOAR came to be after Saurabh Bangar, the current President, saw his extremely hardworking and intelligent friend in financial need. His future, made limitless by his passion for medicine and to create a lasting change in the world, was bound by his inability to pay for the majority of post-secondary institutions he wished to attend. Although now faring well as a top student in his sciences undergraduate class, SOAR is now working towards providing financial and moral support for youth aiming to make their large dreams become a reality.
