Commonwealth Center for Fathers & Families

Commonwealth Center for Fathers & Families Our mission is to support fathers in providing child and family safety, economic stability, & more.

The Commonwealth Center for Fathers and Families (CCFF) was first formed in 2005 as the Kentucky Fatherhood Initiative. Efforts began as a group of conscious and concerned professionals, service providers, government agencies, and citizens with a vision to enhance the quality of life for children and promote family well-being through healthy and positive father engagement. This group was in tune w

ith the then-emerging acknowledgment that engaging fathers would also lift children and families. It recognized the need for a centralized agent to enhance, increase, and coordinate father engagement services across Kentucky. While the work has been maintained on various scales across administrations and for well over a decade, the efforts received a momentum boost by securing a statewide strategic planning grant in the Spring of 2019.
