SOAR is the community coalition that advances the healthy development of children, youth & families in King County.
Doing work that no single agency can accomplish alone, SOAR builds and strengthens effective partnerships and aligns community strategies to support children and youth (birth-18).

SOAR's work is guided by two community-generated documents:

• King County Early Childhood & School Readiness Action Agenda
• King County Action Agenda for School-Age Children & Youth

SOAR is governed by stakeholders and leaders from local organizations, government, businesses and community coalitions. SOAR works towards the goals outlined in the Action Agends by supporting community-based partnerships and goal-specific Action Teams.

If you are an organization, parent, youth, business, local government, funder, coalition or other stakeholder working for the success of kids from birth to age eighteen, you are part of this vision and we encourage you to join in this exciting partnership.

SOAR's funding partners include the United Way of King County, the King County Children and Family Commission, and the King County Developmental Disabilities Board. SOAR is hosted by the YWCA of Seattle, King County, Snohomish County.
