The Coletrain Transformation Station Inc. (CTS) is a nonprofit public benefit organization Located in Lake County, California. The Coletrain Transformation Station Inc. was founded by a family, in 2013 by Randall Cole and Kim Cole. CTS is a grass roots organization that provides a boots to the grounds direct services approach that is fueled by faith that individuals can transform and evolve with support. The Coletrain Transformation Station Inc. was created without any investors or funding but has currently expanded with the help of donations and grants from organizations, small businesses, and community members.

The mission of CTS is to assist and prevent individuals involvement in the criminal justice system and juvenile justice system by providing quality services to individuals and families battling substance and mental health disorders.

Our goal is to reduce recidivism for incarceration, homelessness, suicide, and trauma; through education, counseling, advocacy, case management, and training. We provide services that include evidence based assessments and quality counseling services and programs that are deeply imbedded in compassion, empathy, and the profound understanding to complexities of trauma and maladaptive responsive behaviors. In essence, we see the person first, we do not believe that a person is defined by their circumstances, decisions, or personal battles.

CTS also works with law enforcement agencies to help increase community trust to lessen escalation of situations that can lead to individual crisis and ensure public safety through training, advocacy, and program services. In addition, CTS has assisted with counseling services to support vulnerable communities with severe trauma, for perpetrators and victims of domestic violence, sexual assualt, drug use, and crime.

CTS CEO, Randall Cole and many of our CTS Team of volunteers have lived experience, that reflect the populations that they serve, as a living testament that change can happen, with dedication, support, and transforming the perspective to I CAN.
