TYRO was created from the Tijerina family’s personal experience with welfare and incarceration. TYRO attacks the culture of entitlement and empowers individuals to reinvent themselves.
The main programs that TYRO offers is: TYRO Dads, TYRO Leadership, Couple Communication® and TYRO Job Ethics Training (JET). TYRO is a holistic, multi-faceted character-building program, designed to strengthen individuals and families. The word TYRO is Latin, meaning novice, apprentice, or someone learning something new. It teaches participants how to overcome destructive generational cycles of poverty, incarceration, and dependency.
