Following a two-year hiatus, we are thrilled to announce the return of the feel-good event of the year—AHA!’s Sing It Out! A dozen teens and two AHA! staff take to the stage and bust out a solo rock and roll song backed by a live band—truly a process of transformation. They learn to overcome fears and individual challenges and also learn to support their peers, accept support from peers and trusted adult facilitators and coaches, and to stand tall and sing their hearts open in the face of fear.
