During this club meeting our guest speaker was Bert Waugh Jr.. Bert started Transitional Youth in 1991.Transitional Youth is a faith based organization that offers hope, relationships with different people and new opportunities to young people 18 and over. The program engages youth where they are with food, hygieneproducts, clothing and personal relationships. When a young person is ready for more, the program has two homes and a ranch to provide shelter, skill building services and support. These are homes for young men. Over time Bert has seen the number of young women grow from 20% to 40% of the young people they serve so the program is now working to start a home for young women. The program provides a hand up, not a hand out. Learn more about Transitional Youth
