Equipping Nine prisons in Louisiana to facilitate TYRO 

In the state of Louisiana, you will find that all 9 of their state prisons has men and women facilitating TYRO classes. This undertaking was accomplished through a two-day facilitator training that equips incarcerated individuals to learn the skills to teach our Flagship re-entry program TYRO Leadership. We believe one of the best models to facilitate TYRO is through peer-facilitation.

Taking nine facilities and working with their staff to find the best candidates to be equipped to facilitate the program is no small feat. Some of these facilities opted for in-person facilitate training while others were trained remotely through the use of various video conferencing platforms.
