We Transform Lives

We are passionate about positively transforming youth, families, communities and ourselves. That makes sense...we named our company Transforming Lives! To do this well we have assembled an outstanding village of educators, therapists, counselors, behavior interventionists, administrators and leaders to serve others.

We are driven, creative and dedicated to serving the marginalized and underserved with love, connection and challenge. Our work is rooted in our approaches to:

“Human beings transform their behavior based on their bonds and relationships.” We live by the belief that building and leveraging relationships is our greatest superpower! Therefore, relationships trump everything else for us.

People will know us by how we interact with those we serve and everyone else. We expect everyone to exemplify the twin pillars of being Restorative and Trauma-Informed. These are at the core of everything that we do here.
