Gray Eagle Transition: Memphis Nonprofit Fighting Crime

Founded in 2006, Gray Eagle Transition is a family-oriented nonprofit dedicated to inner-city development in Memphis, Tennessee. Our mission is to reduce crime rates through a comprehensive approach that includes spiritual guidance, education, workforce training, and development.

In addition to our core programs, we operate the Gray Eagle Driving Academy, offering Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) training. Leveraging years of experience and strong partnerships, we’ve established a top-tier commercial truck driving school.
