SOAR-Entrepreneurship
What is S.O.A.R.?
Lift For Life Academy's S.O.A.R. Program stands for Student Ownership Autonomy & Relevance. This is offered to high school juniors and seniors, revolves around authentic and project-based learning experiences for students. This type of learning is meant to create an atmosphere of inspiration, community involvement, and growth for students based upon their interests while still meeting school and state regulations for learning. The S.O.A.R. vision is a St. Louis Community that harbors a diverse workforce with clear pathways to meaningful careers, empowerment, and self-actualization for the students we serve, who represent the next generation of St. Louis professionals.
Class Mission?
The Entrepreneurship program’s mission is to graduate students from Lift For Life Academy who have a clear, entrepreneurship based trajectory and have already begun to pursue that trajectory through direct involvement with the professional businesses and institutions of St. Louis. Below you can read about some of our past partnerships.
What to Expect?
Business and Entrepreneurship S.O.A.R. Pathway is for students who are building, and growing, their own personal business. By the end of the course, each student will have a complete business plan that includes their target audience, their business name/logo, the plan to get the business started, and, for those that are serious, a VIN Number and certifications to operate their business in St. Louis. The Business and Entrepreneurship Pathway has partnered with Da Guys Influencers, Sean Singleton (Author, Realtor and Influential Speaker), Christie Holland from Gutted Fitness, Kawanna Waddel from Styletaneous Boutique, St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Career, Lefty Fried Rice, and CeCe Ellis Real Estate, to name a few. During the course of the class the students will go on field trips and hear from special guest speakers speak about how they made a success of their current businesses, and the struggles along the way.
My favorite saying and moto for my class is "You will only fail in life if you fail to think outside of the box." If you are afraid to challenge your self to think differently then the gray areas of life will confuse you.
