Mission Statement
Our purpose is twofold:
a) Introduce indigent and incarcerated fathers regarding fatherhood through the use of clinical and related educational tools; and
b) To promote fatherhood in poverty stricken neighborhoods and in the general public through events and any other means of educating the public on the importance of patriarchal involvement in children’s lives.
Description
The Mission The Fatherhood Educational Institute is here to promote positive fatherhood involvement in poverty stricken communities.
Our Leadership We are here to help fathers. We do not hold lavish dinners and expensive 'fundraisers’ to pay for our staff, marketing or expenses.

Fatherhood Support Featuring engaging talks, panel discussions and information sessions, attendees are educated as to services available to fathers, and programs to support their involvement in their children’s lives.
