Fathers Action Network

WELCOME TO FATHERS ACTION NETWORK

We provide services and resources for households primarily run by single fathers. We provide a number of services related to responsible parenting, child custody and support issues, criminal record expunctions, men's health, budgeting and investing, affordable housing, employment, personal and professional development for entrepreneurs.

Our Mission

Fathers Action Network‘s (FAN) mission is to improve communications between parents and to establish a connection with families and schools to benefit the children. We believe this can facilitate learning in the classroom. We further believe that all of these work together to strengthen communities.

We exist to:

To remove barriers that prevent biological fathers from connecting with their children.
To improve communications between parents for the benefit of the children.
To connect parents with schools to improve classroom behavior and to facilitate the education process at school.
To support fathers who need a second chance at being a responsible father.

The Need

We have the statistics to back this up. We already know that a child needs to be loved by both parents and that they need to feel secure, regardless to how the mother and father feel about each other....We also know that IT IS NOT EASY to be objective in parenting when the relationship is in over or going through difficulties. We can create a more secure and nurturing environment for the children when we CAN do this.

Currently, one out of every three children in the U.S. now grows up without his or her biological father in the home – two out of three in African-American communities.
Studies consistently show that kids who grow up without fathers in the home, on average, experience significantly worse outcomes than children from intact married homes.
Given the harm caused by father absence and the benefits of father involvement, one of the most important things we can do to improve child well being is to increase the proportion of children growing up with involved, responsible, and committed fathers
