Directed by John Turnipseed, the Center for Fathering offers parenting and male responsibility classes. Through the program, men learn about male responsibility and receive new role models and accountability. Men are taught parental direction and encouragement to become personally and financially responsible for their children and family. An increase in self-esteem, child-support payments, personal income, sobriety, citizenship, as well as a more determined commitment to higher education, has been documented in our evaluation measurements. The Center for Fathering assists men in identifying job skills and creating a resume and offers connections to numerous resources for employment. Men do not have to be fathers to attend the Center. The Center for Fathering meets every Tuesday evening from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Dinner is provided.
