About Me.
Empowering Fathers works together with governmental entities and other local non-profits to jointly create and maintain an environment that prioritizes father engagement as a critical factor in strengthening families. We understand that children and adolescents that have close and positive relationships with their fathers are less likely to engage in risky behaviors and/or substance and alcohol use.
Empowering Fathers
Empowering Fathers will actively reach out to young fathers through community events and utilize our community partners to promote our programming and gain referrals. Our programming will include direct services such as a Father’s Support Group, classes about fathering, family bonding events, and workshops about navigating the systems that can create barriers to father engagement. We willalso provide navigation and case management for fathers re-engaging with theirfamilies in key areas: housing, job, education and the legal system.
