In the summer of 2014 SOAR created a Teen Advisory Group (TAG) that would have a board that mirrored the SOAR board. Each summer the TAG board applications open for the next school year. In the short time since TAG has been created, they have produced a musical (High School Musical) with shadowing opportunities. Created programming for teens (Broadway in the Park) where they worked on all aspects of four different shows for families. Our TAG media director is also in charge of our social media campaigns on Twitter, Instagram, and SnapChat. Teens that are general members of TAG participate by volunteering for SOAR events. We hope to have our general members more involved by participating or leading committees as our program grows.
