About Student Organization Achieving Results (SOAR)
Student Organization Achieving Results (SOAR) is a small Crested Butte, Colorado–based nonprofit (EIN 82-4315130) that partners with Crested Butte Community School to deliver applied architecture, design and construction experiences for high school students.
Founded to formalize and sustain a successful student build program, SOAR operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity (IRS ruling year 2018) that puts classroom instruction into real-world projects—most notably student-built residential construction completed with industry partners. Public news coverage documents multiple student build projects in 2017–2019; public-facing updates since 2020 have been limited, though tax filings and nonprofit registries show the organization remained registered through fiscal filings in 2023–2024.

Sustained multi-year collaboration
