Partner Success Stories
with NFI Programs

"We have been using NFI’s InsideOut Dad® program at Utah State University’s Fatherhood Education Program for almost ten years now and the NFI Team have been a great win-win partner for us as well as the Utah Department of Corrections. The facilitator’s guide is excellent and provides the structure and resources needed to run the program effectively. The optional reentry sessions address practical challenges fathers will face post-release, enhancing their readiness to assume active, involved parenting roles. Through InsideOut Dad®, incarcerated fathers gain a renewed vision for their role in their children’s lives, inspiring personal growth that can change the trajectory for entire families."

Kelly Kendall, CFLE

Fatherhood Education Program Coord., Healthy Relationships Utah

"What I value the most about the 24:7 Dad® curriculum is its holistic approach to fatherhood education. By addressing various aspects of fatherhood, such as parenting skills, relationship building, emotional intelligence, and self-care, the program equips fathers with the necessary tools to actively engage in their children's lives. The focus on both personal growth and parenting skills sets this curriculum apart, as it recognizes that being a good father requires continuous self-improvement and introspection. Additionally, the program's emphasis on building positive relationships with children, co-parents, and support networks fosters a supportive environment for fathers to thrive."

Denzell Booker

Project Manager, Motivation, Education, and Training, Inc.

"The programs are very easy to use because they are not aimed at any particular culture, race, social or economic background. The inmates who participate in the InsideOut Dad® program in five of our detention centers all agree that the topics are relatable across all ethnic backgrounds. The lessons take their minds off of their absence from their child(ren), focus their desire to improve their parenting skills and help prepare them for the return to the lives of their child(ren). The community fathers who attend the 24:7 Dad® classes enjoy the curriculum mainly because the lessons expose the commonalities they all have as fathers."
