Juneteenth reminds us of the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and opportunity.

As Father’s Day weekend approaches, we also take time to celebrate the fathers, mentors, and male role models whose guidance strengthens generations.

Be part of this meaningful conversation at Freedom & Fatherhood and join us as we honor both history and hope.

Nobody hands you a manual when you become a dad. That's why we built one.
F.O.A.M.'s fatherhood classes give single dads the tools, community, and support to show up strong for their kids every single day.

Our Fatherhood Classes meet every Tuesday from 6:30p.m. at the Family and Youth Service Center (1120 Government St., Baton Rouge).

Thank you J. R. Whaley John Randall Whaley , for sponsoring our Father’s Day Celebration at the Louisiana State Police Barracks on Fathers Day!

Just because a father is incarcerated does not mean he does not deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare for a better future. The men participating in our Fatherhood Program at the barracks are gaining valuable knowledge and skills they can apply upon their release and as they reconnect with their families.

This Father’s Day, through the generous support of J.R. Whaley, we celebrate the commitment these fathers have made to becoming more responsible parents, stronger role models, and productive citizens. Your investment helps strengthen fathers, families, and communities.

Thank you for believing in second chances and in the power of fatherhood.
