Since 1996 David and Myra Vandy have trained, worked and lived with over 200 youth from challenging backgrounds in 4 regions of the United States. To empower youth to be well prepared for life on their own, the Vandys created SMOOTH TRANSITIONS 4 TEENS. David and Myra provide effective training in the use of SMOOTH TRANSITIONS 4 TEENS for groups and organizations, including parents and other engaged adults, youth programs, school districts and young people. The trainings build upon the assets of individuals, families, neighborhoods and community based support networks.
