Support the Work of TYRVING

A rite-of-passage program supporting families through the transition from childhood to adolescence.

Behind them, there is a white fence, parked cars, a hillside, and a building with a sign that says 'COG RAILWAY' and a sign with an arrow pointing right.

Why TYRVING?

The transition into adolescence is one of the most influential periods in a young person’s life.

TYRVING offers a relationship-centered rite of passage program, informed by research on adolescent development, that helps families slow down, build skills, and strengthen relationships—creating a foundation of confidence, character, and belonging that lasts far beyond middle school.

Your support helps make this possible for more families.

What Parents are Saying…

“TYRVING is a truly outstanding program. The curriculum and programming has been very well thought out, with many different ways to plug in to a community of parents in a way that purposefully helps you and your child grow into a healthier place during the middle school years. Given our current cultural environment, I feel very fortunate to have found such a program. I am certain the learnings and experiences will provide a resilient mindset for my son in the years to come.” - Pete

“TYRVING provides an opportunity for a father and son to connect in an intentional manner. The Guidebook is purposeful, and provides opportunities for both father and son to step out of their comfort zones. TYRVING has given me more time to develop a deeper bond with my son and has created space for us to have intentional conversations. I would highly recommend TYRVING to anyone looking to create a stronger bond with their son.” - T.J.
