Why Fathers Matter

A Proactive Approach to Thriving Communities

One in four children grow up without a biological, step, or adoptive father. National Fatherhood Initiative® partners with communities and human service organizations to unlock the transformative power of involved fatherhood. We fuel your family-strengthening efforts with proven solutions that make it easier for you to include fathers.

we transform the lives of children and elevate the well-being of entire families and communities.

Results & Impact

“We're in the middle of starting our fatherhood initiative, and the National Fatherhood Initiative® staff has been valuable in helping us frame the problem so that we can encourage the community to rally around the solutions. Erik Vecere and the National Fatherhood Initiative staff have been supportive, energizing, and helpful, and I know the team will be there for us throughout the entire program. Our chief of police and fire chief, mayor and council, and city leadership are all expecting great things from this local initiative, and as we get closer to launching, we all believe Baytown will be a better, safer, and more father-inclusive city!

Thomas Reeves

Director of Public Affairs, City Of Baytown, TX.

“Fathers respond positively to programs implemented using National Fatherhood Initiative® (NFI) resources primarily due to the unique approach and valuable resources provided by NFI. The key concepts that make NFI's programs effective include the focus on promoting responsible fatherhood, building stronger families, and enhancing children's well-being. NFI's resources offer practical tools, workshops, and evidence-based strategies that empower fathers to be more engaged, supportive, and involved in their children's lives.”

“For three decades now, I’ve been using the products, services, and programs of National Fatherhood Initiative®. I found them to have all the fundamental tenets of a good curriculum of products that would be beneficial to fathers themselves and service providers to fathers. I’ve seen their products have an impact on fathers. I’ve been part of research projects that have, in fact, validated the impact of these products on fathers and families. I have heard from other agencies that use the products that they are, in fact, user-friendly and are products that have helped them provide deeper and better-enhanced services for fathers, families, children, and communities”
