For Fathers of Young Children: Investing in Fatherhood
Click here for a short contact form
CDR’s Investing in Fatherhood program provides parenting education, information, and coaching for fathers of young children in the Historic Triangle of Virginia and creates public awareness of the critical role fathers have in the lives of their children. It is well-documented that children with involved, loving fathers learn more, perform better in school, and exhibit healthier overall behavior.
The objectives of the program are to promote fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives; give them knowledge of parenting, co-parenting, and life-skills; increase their confidence and self-esteem as parents; and acquaint them with local community resources.
Fathers who join the program have the opportunity to receive:
-
Fellowship opportunities
-
Invitations to dad/child events
-
Parenting education
-
Connection to other dads
-
Referral to other community services and resources
Membership in the program is voluntary and at no cost. The program is operated in collaboration with other community partners and local agencies.
To meet the objectives of the program, Investing in Fatherhood offers a variety of programs for fathers:
