Based on this Notion, the Father Involvement Program developed its mission to provide the skills and support needed for fathers to establish and maintain positive, ongoing relationship with their children. The goals of this program are to (1) positively engage fathers in their children’s lives, (2) help fathers become aware of the important role they play in their children’s emotional, developmental and educational well being and (3) assist fathers in seeking opportunities to gain the tools and/or skills needed to meet their own basic needs in order to provide for their children.
