SOAR Volunteers 2018

This air travel rehearsal program is for families who have anxiety about flying with a person with autism. Volunteers are paired up with families to assist them as they do a walk through from ticketing, to security, to boarding a plane.

PLEASE NOTE: all participants (travelers and volunteers) must bring a photo ID along with them, just like you would if you are going on an actual flight. Please include your middle name when you register. The name you register with MUST MATCH your photo ID.
