No! Our on-demand certificate training is open to anyone interested in increasing their knowledge and skills in effectively engaging fathers, recruiting and retaining them in programs, and facilitating any program effectively.

Can a woman facilitate a fatherhood program?

Yes! Some of the most effective fatherhood program facilitators are women. In fact, having a male and female co-facilitate can have an even more significant impact. Read more about women facilitating fatherhood programs here.
