Fathers are often undervalued by themselves and the community around them. We hope to help fathers become more in tune with their worth as a dad and their impact on their children. Raising children is hard work and we need all hands on deck. Through skill-building, connection to other men and raised expectations, fathers will become more involved with all of the aspects of fathering and supporting their families. We also want the community around them to see the role of fathers as valuable. With a supportive community that welcomes fathers and engages them, fathers will continue to show up in positive ways for their families and their community.
Vermont Fatherhood aims to make strong connections for fathers and those who work with families, including child care providers, schools, social service agencies, health care providers and businesses.
