Intake Coordinator, and Transport Interventionist
I am Jacob Hardy, Transport Interventionist and Intake Coordinator for New Start Transports. I have found great enjoyment and satisfaction in working with adolescents. I have had many opportunities working with youth in various occupations: youth treatment school programs, adolescent ranch academies, group home director, and New Start Transports. I strongly encourage parents who are placing their child in a youth program or school to use the benefits of a professional and personalized youth transport service. My family and I learned this lesson the hard way.
In my early teens, I found myself struggling to find my identity in life. My family decided to place me in a youth wilderness program and transported me independent of any outside assistance. I quickly realized this as my mother was driving the opposite direction of home on the freeway. I began to go physically out of control in a last attempt to manipulate my mother to change her mind. I opened the door on the freeway and threatened to jump out of the car. My mother was in tears for the entire trip. I successfully graduated from the wilderness program, but as I look back it could have been less traumatic for my family and me if my parents would have had the knowledge of and hired a professionally licensed and insured youth transport service. I am now thankful to my parents and the wilderness program of which I participated. I have committed most of my adult career to working with worried parents and struggling youth in similar situations. I am excited each time I am able to successfully intervene and provide a safe transport.
I originally voted on our company name, New Start Transports, because I believe the minute the youth transport begins, the youth's opportunity for a new start does as well. I am happy to help support the troubled youth industry in saving the lives of our youth and reuniting them to their families with more knowledge and tools to be successful. I believe that New Start Transports is able to provide a unique level of service that no other youth transport company can compare to. With the founders of New Start Transports, being former family participants of programs on three separate occasions, I believe our company has been enabled to have a more sincere level of care and perspective in the services we provide.
I received my Bachelor in Criminal Justice from UNLV. I have been a trainer in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) and maintain training in CPR and First Aid. In addition to my work with New Start, I operate a group home outside of Las Vegas.
