Join Soar
Applications to the Soar program and co-working space at EDGE are competitive. We highly recommend meeting with one of our team members before completing the application form, so you understand the commitment and process involved.
EDGE evaluates Soar Program Applications three times/year, however we welcome applications at any time. We may accept new applicants outside of the review periods if/when space becomes available.
Applications are reviewed in early August, December and April. Applicants are typically notified by the end of those months.
