Soaring High with So Kids SOAR

“Soaring High with SKS” is a dive into a beneficial organization for the disabled community. So Kids SOAR, or SKS for short, is a group that assists and educates those with disabilities, both in helping to get employment and improving certain skills or hobbies. In this podcast, PodTechs apprentice and SKS graduate Michael Simmons will be talking with the director of the program, Glenda Fu Smith, to discuss the history of SKS, as well as the various types of courses and activities the program offers.
