Who We Are

---

Noble Transit USA is a youth social services organization based in Denver, Colorado, dedicated to guiding young people ages 16 to 20 as they transition from the system into stable, empowered adulthood. We serve as the vital bridge between vulnerable youth and life-changing opportunities by connecting them to government-funded programs such as Job Corps, college pathways, workforce training, and mental health resources. Through mentorship, education navigation, and real-world life skills, Noble Transit provides hands-on support to help teens exit the foster care system, juvenile justice system, or unstable living conditions—and enter adulthood with purpose, confidence, and clarity. Our goal is to ensure that no young person falls through the cracks, and every individual has the chance to create a future filled with dignity, direction, and possibility.

 Noble Transit USA was born out of a powerful vision: to create a safe, supportive bridge for youth aging out of the system. Founded by Ivana Watson, a dedicated advocate for underserved youth, Noble Transit began as a heartfelt response to the gaps she witnessed in the transition from foster care and shelters to independent adulthood.

Recognizing that many teens were being released without the guidance or resources to thrive, Ivana set out to build a nonprofit that would connect these young adults with government-funded programs such as Job Corps and college housing initiatives. These programs offered more than just shelter—they offered structure, education, stability, and a fresh start.

What began as a local outreach project in Denver, Colorado has grown into a national mission. With each teen we help place into a transitional program, we move closer to our goal: ensuring that no young person is left behind simply because they aged out of care. At Noble Transit, we believe every youth deserves the chance to build a life of purpose, dignity, and opportunity.

Our name reflects our purpose: Noble—because we believe in the worth and potential of every young person, and Transit—because we guide them from uncertainty to stability, from survival to success.

Join us in rewriting futures—one transition at a time.

We act as a trusted guide and bridge—helping youth transition from uncertainty to opportunity by enrolling them in programs like Job Corps, college housing initiatives, trade schools, and transitional living programs across the United States.

Our services include:

• Personalized Guidance: We help youth identify the best fit from available housing and education-based programs.
   
• Application Support: From paperwork to interviews, we walk youth through every step of the enrollment process.
   
• Advocacy & Referrals: We work with shelters, group homes, and state agencies to identify eligible teens and connect them to resources.
   
• Mentorship & Life Skills: We offer workshops and mentoring to help youth prepare for independent living, career planning, and adult responsibilities.
   

By building strong partnerships with local and national programs, Noble Transit USA is redefining what it means to age out of the system. We don’t just help youth find a program—we help them find their path.
