Welcome to Soaring Phoenix

The place where our youth come to H.E.A.L.

Our Story

Soaring Phoenix was co-founded by two community-rooted leaders deeply committed to addressing how systemic racism and other forms of injustice affect the daily lives of Black and Brown families and other marginalized communities. The vision for the organization was shaped by lived experiences with poverty, housing instability, and inequities in education, particularly in reading and math.

What They Say About Us

"The H.E.A.L. Program has been life-changing for my child. They've gained so much confidence and learned how to communicate their emotions better. It’s heartwarming to see them thrive in ways I never thought possible."

"Watching these students grow emotionally and socially has been incredible. The skills they’ve learned—like resilience and conflict resolution—are things they’ll carry with them for a lifetime."

"I used to feel like I couldn’t do anything right, but this program helped me believe in myself. Now, I’m not afraid to try new things, and I know how to deal with tough situations better."

"Soaring Phoenix is filling critical gaps in our community. Their focus on trauma-informed care and holistic learning is exactly what our youth need to succeed and heal."

"The impact of the H.E.A.L. Program has been profound. Not only are students more engaged, but teachers are also seeing noticeable improvements in behavior and emotional intelligence across the board."
