Welcome
This 26th annual conference is designed to unite, educate, and empower community stakeholders who serve youth committed to the Texas Youth Commission. Our aim is to strengthen community partnerships on the grassroots level so that TYC youth successfully re-enter their communities, their families become engaged in their rehabilitative process, stakeholders collaborate in the provision of resources, and our children are saved. Each community stakeholder is an essential piece of the puzzle in the successful reentry and reintegration of TYC youth.
Each Community Partner is an Essential Piece
to the Successful Re-Entry of TYC Youth into Society.
Isn't it a wonderful thing that we are all different? Each of us, and each of our organizations, has strengths and skills to share. And when we link our individual and organizational strengths together, we are invincible and our TYC youth can succeed.
