🎳 Celebrating Strong Fathers, Strong Families 🎓

Our Fatherhood Initiative participants recently completed the nationally recognized 24/7 Dad® A.M. curriculum, a 12-session program designed to strengthen fathers, families, and communities.

Throughout the program, fathers participated in group discussions and activities focused on communication, healthy relationships, parenting, self-awareness, employment, financial responsibility, and other important life skills. The program provided a supportive environment where fathers could learn from one another, share experiences, and build stronger foundations for themselves and their families.

To recognize their hard work and commitment, graduates and their families were invited to a special Family Bowling & Graduation Celebration at Westgate Entertainment Center. Fathers had the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments alongside their children and loved ones while creating positive memories and enjoying quality family time together.

We are proud of each father who completed the program and look forward to seeing the continued positive impact they will have on their families and our community.

Howard A wrapped up the school year with a fun-filled celebration! 🎉🔬🧁

The children enjoyed exciting science experiments, delicious cupcakes generously provided by Hendrix's family, and a special celebration for all of our summer birthdays. It was a wonderful way to recognize a year of learning, growth, and friendship while looking ahead to a fun summer.

Thank you to Hendrix's family for helping make our celebration extra sweet! ❤️
