Breaking the Cycle, Building a Future
Right now, 2.7 million youth have an incarcerated parent. While no path is predetermined, statistics show that these children are three times more likely to become justice-involved compared to their peers.
At Families of Conviction, we are committed to rewriting this narrative. Our mission is to ensure that the children of incarcerated parents don’t just avoid the system—they rise above it. Through mentorship, resources, and empowerment, we help them SuperSeed the odds, unlocking their full potential and creating brighter futures beyond incarceration.

Cultivate
Talent alone isn’t enough—it must be developed. Through mentorship, skill-building workshops, and hands-on learning experiences, we equip youth with the tools they need to refine and cultivate their gifts. Whether it’s leadership, entrepreneurship, creative arts, or technical skills, we provide real-world knowledge and guidance to help them grow into their full potential.
Identify
The first step in transformation is recognition. We help youth discover their strengths, passions, and unique talents by exposing them to career professionals, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders who open their minds to new possibilities. By expanding their vision, we give them the confidence to see beyond their circumstances.
Supersede
With the right exposure and development, youth don’t just beat the odds—they supersede them. We empower them to break cycles, overcome obstacles, and step into their greatness with confidence. By equipping them with knowledge, skills, and a winning mindset, we set them up for success—not just for themselves, but for future generations.
We believe every young person holds a unique seed of greatness within them.

Mentoring for a Brighter Future
Future SuperSeed is the signature mentoring program of Families of Conviction, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families impacted by incarceration. This program provides mentorship, guidance, and a strong support system for urban youth who have experienced parental incarceration or are growing up in single-parent households.
