FATHERHOOD at CDR

Our mission is to empower dads to reach their goals and to be the best parents they can be. We work with fathers in our area on fatherhood, communication skills, employment, and financial stability.

The core of our programming is 24/7 Dads – a FREE parenting workshop for dads where dads work toward their goals in fatherhood, work, and co-parenting. For participating in 24/7 Dads, you can be eligible for up to $350 in gift card incentives!

In addition to 24/7 Dads, we offer a class for expectant dads called Rookie Dads. We also facilitate a workshop series which combines 24/7 Dads with additional workforce resources for incarcerated dads at two local jails.

What do our dads say about us?

Worth the time investment as I have learned many valuable skills. I was surprised something like this was available and free!

A very good program, with extremely knowledgable guys who really care and are really here to help us make a change; words can't express my gratitude enough.

I personaly think this is a very effective program. The teachers engage with the students and Mr. Charles showed us that even though we all comes from different walks of life we are all the same in ways being fathers. This program has made me re-evaluate myself as a father and a man.

This program helped me realize that I'm not alone out there. This program has helped give me more knowledge and skills to be a better father.
