What Our Partners Say:
"I received training from NFI on the Community Mobilization Approach™ and served as the "lead agency" for the initiative here in metro Atlanta. Our facilitator, Erik Vecere, was very flexible, accommodating, and supportive. Using our multisector, collaborative, strengths-based, community-driven approach, we have anchored our fatherhood initiative and have led several events and services with Erik's support, impacting hundreds of fathers in the metro Atlanta area. These fathers, especially fathers leading fatherhood programs, have grown in their capacity and have been able to serve even more fathers through our connection [with NFI.]

“We're in the middle of starting our fatherhood initiative, and the National Fatherhood Initiative® staff has been valuable in helping us frame the problem so that we can encourage the community to rally around the solutions. The staff have been supportive, energizing, and helpful, and I know the team will be there for us throughout the entire program. Our chief of police and fire chief, mayor and council, and city leadership are all expecting great things from this initiative, and we all believe Baytown will be a better, safer, and more father-inclusive city!
Thomas Reeves
Director of Public Affairs, City Of Baytown, TX.
"The impact of the FRNA on our organization has been profound. By actively encouraging our members to engage in the assessment process, we have facilitated a valuable platform to assess and reflect on their services and identify their needs, challenges, and successes. AMCHP is eager to continue its partnership with NFI to further enhance and support father-friendly services."
