Texas Families of Incarcerated Youth
The Texas Families of Incarcerated Youth (TFIY) is a network comprised of family members of youth that are currently or formerly incarcerated in TYC. TFIY's mission is to offer support and information to families, and advocate as a unified voice for systemic change for families of incarcerated youth. TFIY is grounded in the belief that there is power in numbers and that families of incarcerated youth are important and powerful advocates for change in TYC.
