    • About MTT University™

      Behavioral Education • Leadership • Life Mastery

      Founded by Making the Transition, Inc.™, MTT University™ exists to give every young person—especially those growing up in poverty, high-risk environments, or communities affected by violence—real access to the education, structure, and support needed to take control of their life and change their future.

      Built on our proprietary Behavioral Education™ model, we teach youth, families, and community leaders how to understand behavior, build emotional intelligence, and develop the practical skills that create opportunity through purpose and discipline.

      Our mission also empowers the adults who care about youth—parents, mentors, educators, and advocates—by equipping them with proven tools to guide young people effectively and ensure every youth receives the level of support they deserve.

      Every course blends lived experience, behavioral science, and social-reform practice into an applied, outcomes-driven learning system. The result is confident decision-making, healthier relationships, and safer, stronger communities.

Youth Change Agent™ Certification

Youth_Change_Agent_Certification_Course_Cover.pngYouth_Change_Agent_Certification_Course_Cover.png

The Youth Change Agent™ Certification prepares participants to build meaningful, responsible, and development-centered relationships with young people.

Drawing from Making the Transition, Inc.’s work with more than 100,000 youth, this certification teaches participants to look beyond visible behavior, recognize the conditions and influences affecting young people, maintain accountability, build trust, and respond with greater understanding, consistency, and purpose.

Participants will examine how their education, professional knowledge, community experience, faith, family roles, and learned lived experience shape the way they see and respond to youth. The certification is especially grounded in the realities, strengths, challenges, and experiences of Black and Brown youth and Black and Brown communities.

Through online lessons, cohort discussions, private reflections, live workshops, behavioral analysis, practical application, and feedback, participants will develop the knowledge, judgment, self-awareness, and applied readiness required to serve as a Youth Change Agent™.

Completing the course activities does not automatically guarantee certification. Participants must demonstrate preparation, participation, understanding, accountability, development, and the ability to apply what they have learned responsibly.
