Tiffany Byrd, MSW

Executive Vice President

Philadelphia Regional Office: (267) 702-2848

Tiffany Byrd serves as the Executive Vice President of the Philadelphia Regional Office at A Second Chance, Inc. A proud Philadelphia native, Tiffany was born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love before venturing to West Virginia to pursue her passion for social work at the esteemed West Virginia State University.

As the eldest of nine siblings, Tiffany’s deep-rooted commitment to family and the kinship triad is both personal and professional. Raised primarily by her elderly grandmother, she holds a profound respect for the vital role kin play in nurturing, protecting, and shaping the lives of children and youth. Her life experience informs her advocacy and leadership, especially in communities where kinship care is a cornerstone.

Tiffany brings over nine years of experience in child welfare, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and permanency planning. Before joining ASCI in 2017, she worked as a Permanency Coordinator for a nonprofit agency, supporting children and families on their journey toward stability and connection. With more than eight years of leadership and nonprofit management under her belt, Tiffany has become a trusted and visionary leader in the field. In 2023, she was honored with the Delaware Valley Legal Fund’s Community Heroes Award, a testament to her unwavering dedication to social justice and community empowerment.

Beyond her professional work, Tiffany serves on the boards of two impactful organizations—Philadelphia Family Pride and A Promise of Hope—where she continues to elevate family-centered advocacy and support. She holds a Master of Social Work from West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

Tiffany is also a devoted mother to one son and, alongside her siblings, provides low-income housing to Philadelphia residents—demonstrating her belief in community, equity, and access to opportunity. Her work is grounded in her belief in ASCI’s mission, vision, and values, and her guiding principle comes from the powerful words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Tiffany leads with passion, and firmly believes that with heart and determination, anything is possible
