Team (four singers and one tour manager) visits schools and communities to share languages, cultures, and songs from the four singers’ different countries.   

The S.O.U.L. Team travels almost every day to a new town to share its interactive programming with students of all ages (K-12 and college/universities).  All members of the S.O.U.L. Team, including the Tour Manager, stay with host families in each town that they visit.  A volunteer Board of Directors oversees the development of the organization.
