We met while serving on the board of a non-profit. We forged an instant connection upon realizing we both grew up in Los Angeles and were sent to therapeutic programs during our High School years. We understood the importance of how mentors and aftercare programs benefited our own transformation in overcoming personal struggles. Our goal in developing Key Transitions was to create programs that gave teens and young adults the guidance they needed to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives. Based on our own experiences, we believe that everyone has the ability to change if given the proper structure and connection.
