Project SOAR is a multifaceted family literacy program working with Head Start affiliated children, parents and teens to develop literacy, leadership and employment skills. Developed though a partnership with the UIC Center for Literacy and the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, Project SOAR has four programs that train parents and teens to be literacy leaders and early childhood advocates in Head Start centers. Project SOAR uses curricula that teaches parents and teens how to engage children with age appropriate early literacy and nutrition related activities, providing Head Start families with the skills they need to create a holistic family-supported learning environment.  These programs also prepare participating parents and teens to transition to further education or employment.
