The Fatherhood Initiative

Date: 03/20/25

The Fatherhood Initiative  exists to serve Nebraska fathers who are wanting to better connect or re-engage with their children and learn how to be better parents.

Studies show children with fathers who are engaged in their lives have more positive life experiences.
