Transforming Tribes equips youth and young adults, ages 16 to 24, with the life skills, confidence, and support system to move into what's next — high school, foster care, college, a first job, a first apartment.
Core specialty
Transition-to-independence support, extending to preteens and early teens on request.
Our story
"I was an introverted young person who wanted community — I just didn't want to have to reach for it. I needed people to meet me where I was, not ask me to perform a confidence I didn't have yet. Transforming Tribes exists because of that gap: every young person deserves to be seen and supported without having to fight to be noticed."
— Tiana Thomas, Founder
The problem
These numbers aren't abstract — they describe the exact moment a young person needs a tribe the most, and doesn't have one. That's the gap Transforming Tribes exists to close.
