The word TYRO is Latin, meaning novice, apprentice, or someone learning something new. TYRO programming teaches participants how to overcome destructive generational cycles of poverty, incarceration, and dependency.
TYRO Dads is designed to combat the root issues inherent in destructive or self-serving behavior patterns, through cognitive restructuring and positive role-modeling. In this course, individuals are taught and encouraged to begin taking responsibility for their actions and to act with honor and integrity. Additionally, the TYRO Dads coursework provides people with a healthy model for becoming responsible citizens and family members. Those who successfully complete the TYRO Dads course earn the title of “TYRO,” as they now stand as warriors for themselves and their families.
