About the authors Kathi Crowe and Mark Kroner have been involved in the youth work field for over 30 years each. Daniel Memorial chose them to write the curriculum due their consistent involvement in the Independent Living field at the local, state and national levels. Both have also been involved directly with youth in transition during this period of time. Very few in the field have their breadth of experience in this area.
