So Kids Soar

Sks clinic are adaptive clinics held once or twice a month for youth with disablities. Through our clinics, those with physical and developmental disabilities are able to come off the sidelines and unite with their peers. Many children have been bullied in schools and are left out of activities with able-bodied children. The empowerment and self-confidence gained through the clinics will carry over from the field to the home, classroom and the community, allowing them to realize that their disability will not prevent them from fulfilling their dreams. Each child is partnered with a volunteer to learn the essence of teamwork, have a mentor, and also bond over a sense of camaraderie.
