My Nonprofit Reviews

My grandson was lucky enough to get into two programs with The Aspen Effect and it has been a godsend. He had always had issues relating to other kids and now that he was in high school, he wanted to fit in and would do anything to gain acceptance – that included trying drugs and vaping.

The first program was Animal Lovers Volunteer Club. He met with his mentor weekly. This allowed him to discuss the issues he was having without fear of punishment/discipline from me. Being around the animals, especially the horses put him at ease and the mentor he was partnered with was/is a great role model! He made great progress!

In May of this year, my grandson was part of a new program where he met with a therapist weekly - again at the horse ranch. This came at the most opportune time as he needed a little more guidance finding himself and shaping who he would be as an adult. The therapist was amazing with the results being a school year where he is thriving – good grades, better decision making and a happy disposition. He found himself! I am so thankful for The Aspen Effect.
