Families of Conviction (FOC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that equips youth and families impacted by incarceration and other forms of adversity with the relationships, resources, experiences, and opportunities they need to thrive.
Through our signature SuperSeed framework, we serve youth ages 11–17 who have experienced circumstances that can create barriers to healthy development and future success—including parental incarceration, family separation, single-parent households, economic hardship, trauma, grief, community violence, and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
Rather than defining young people by what they have experienced, we focus on the potential within them.
Through mentoring, social-emotional development, therapeutic support, career and college exposure, entrepreneurship, hands-on skill development, and family engagement, we help young people identify their strengths, cultivate their potential, and supersede the circumstances that could otherwise limit their future.
We don't manage risk. We cultivate potential.
Families of Conviction exists to cultivate the potential of youth impacted by incarceration and adversity by providing mentoring, social-emotional support, skill development, exposure, and pathways to opportunity while strengthening the families and caregivers who support them.
This North Texas Giving Day, our community goal is to raise $25,000. Your gift will allow us to:
✅ Resources to serve more SuperSeeds via mentoring, skill development and trade exploration.
✅ Resources to provide trauma focused counseling and therapeutic services for youth in need.
✅ Resources to increase technology, equipment, and opportunities through The Seed Center.
Every dollar helps rewrite a child’s story. Together, we can ensure they don’t just avoid the system—they rise above it.
