Father First

Father First is a statewide and community-driven initiative empowering fathers to embrace their unique roles in their children’s lives.

Every father is the dad their kids need and deserve. Fathers can learn, grow, and push toward being better every day with the right resources, encouragement, and connection. 

The Father First initiative provides educational and mentorship programs, and one-on-one support to encourage responsible and involved fatherhood. Get daily tips on how to dad, the latest info on local dad gatherings, and fatherhood inspiration delivered right to your inbox.
