Our intent is to grow strong relationships within families, businesses, and municipal entities in order to create a sustainable societal network.

We look to be a lighthouse for all those seeking guidance in a sometimes stormy trial of life.

Testimonials
“Students learn from their mentors about responsibility, respect, leadership, and the importance of giving back to their community. The SOOUL Foundation is a haven where students grow and gain self-worth.”
– TAMI AMOS, Dean of students, Roanoke County Public Schools
“MVP is an exemplary program. It focuses on student interests, academic talents, and developing leaders. Schools and parents should discover a way to bring MVP to their communities. It will change lives.”
– NICOLE GHOLSTON, Academic and Career Advisor, Virginia Tech Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
“I could go on for days about how effective this program will be. I was raised in a program similar to this one, and I owe it a large deal of credit for making me who I am today. I can still recite the Ten Commandments from the program––and I was in the 10th grade the last time I was there. I believe this program will have an impact on every young person that travels through it.”
– BRYAN WHITE, Adjunct Professor, Morehouse College
“I believe the mentorship, leadership, and relationship-building components of this development program will impact students in the classroom and follow them into their homes and communities. Students will have the opportunity to focus on a variety of career choices while learning to become the leaders of tomorrow. While classroom teachers are focusing mainly on the standards to be achieved for accreditation and graduation, SOOUL will impart, impact, and nurture each participant with the practical knowledge and wisdom needed to become a successful student and a good citizen by focusing on service, responsibility, and commitment.”
– RUTH CLAYTOR, Retired Assistant Principal, Roanoke County Public Schools
