Smooth Transition is a great place for youth and low income families to get a second chance.
The organization provides great services like various classes of life skills, computer science, GED, Language, and a Culinary. All classes are certified, and our services are free except for the Culinary certificate program which costs a small admission fee. I enjoyed volunteering with Smooth Transition Inc. I learned a lot and made wonderful friends and it was a great experience for me. I had to go back to volunteer with Smooth Transition Inc. again.
Thank you Smooth Transition Inc.

Mission: To serve and empower underprivileged at risk populations through life skills development, educational training, vocational training and mentorship to prevent them from re-entering the foster and judicial system, repeating at risk, poverty and homelessness cycles. The organization is supported by a dedicated and committed board of directors, volunteers, sponsors, educators and stakeholders.
Programs: The organization was awarded its wasc accreditation as a postsecondary education program in june 2012, and now offers accredited certification programs to those needing educational and vocational training as a means to break the cycle of generation poverty and obtain self-sufficiency.
