Through both staff-led facilitation and peer-trained residents, TYRO has served 0ver 40,000 of Ohio’s justice involved men and women with character development programming.

TYRO has seen dramatic and consequential outcomes, such as reducing recidivism in every ORAS category, lowering tickets and infractions, and giving men and women a lasting hope. This last key outcome is the result of the program’s aim to help participants re-unite with their families, equip them with skills to overcome barriers in their re-entry and create a clear vision for their future.
