Fatherhood Program
Why We Focus on Father's
Father's Engagement
Fathers play a significant role in their child’s life that others cannot fill. This role can significantly impact a child and help shape them into the person they become.
Our Fatherhood Program support fathers while improving parenting skills, increasing their knowledge of effective fathering, and promoting a positive relationship with their children. We focus on building self-awareness, self-care, fathering, and relationship skills through a 12-week culturally-responsive course consisting of individual coaching sessions.
Fathers attend weekly classes and engage in community events and activities in their child’s life.
