HOPE JOURNEYS is a career/life skills training program, created to assist youth and the adults in their lives with the task of successfully preparing for life on their own. HOPE JOURNEYS has two major components: SMOOTH TRANSITIONS and BUILDING CREDENTIALS.

SMOOTH TRANSITIONS is a practical, easy to use Career/Education and Life Skills Planner, with 24 monthly planning pages and calendars to logically organize objectives to be completed.  It encourages self-exploration, self-responsibility and provides a structure to help young people methodically achieve their long-term goals. The likelihood of achieving realistic goals will be far greater when career and life skills planning activities are a part of everyday life starting as early as middle school.

BUILDING CREDENTIALS is a proven, multi-dimensional, positive behavior management system.  BUILDING CREDENTIALS seamlessly integrates positive behavior management techniques with the life preparation and planning activities of SMOOTH TRANSITIONS, which is included as Section Two of this book. 

Significant improvement in the behavior and attitudes of young people are regularly reported by adults receiving the  BUILDING CREDENTIALS training before the completion of the 4 day training.
