My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a mentor for Sole Effects for over 4 years now. It is what has allowed me to have such a fantastic life. Through mentoring, I have received so much. Whether it has been working with the kids, working with the college mentors, or running the Leadership Certification Course, Sole Effects has done amazing things for me. It has also made me a strong leader myself, and I feel I have been able to take that new found leadership and help lead Sole Effects to a bright future.

SOLE Effects may seem as if it is not that much of a big deal, but I am here to tell you otherwise. My name is Hagen Javier, and in less than a year, I have found my passion through SOLE Effects. I have learned so much about myself and those around me. Through the process of self reflection from teaching, I changed my ways and started following through with my actions. Never have I ever been involved in anything where the main goal 100% of the time is helping a friend in need, being true to yourself, and just being a good person. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to know how many lives you change in such a short time.

I believe in SOLE Effects more than anything I have ever been apart of. The program has endless potential and the purest motives you can think of. Not only should it be in every college in America, but I believe it can go global as well. Every person in the world has one thing in common: The ability to be a good person. This is not only what SOLE Effects teaches, but instead what comes naturally with involvement in the program.

It is an honor to be at the start of this organization, and a privilege to see where it will go.
