D.A.D. PROJECT

Mission Statement:  Building next generation leaders by encouraging father/ male engagement in education and community settings!

PBS SoCal 2019 Community Spotlight Award Winning Organization

We began by developing and coordinating father/ male engagement programs for head start and early head start programs which support the Parent, Family and Community Engagement (PFCE) Framework. Due to the overwhelming statistics, negative effects of fatherless homes and the needs of the community; we founded the D.A.D Project so every child development center, public/ charter school, and community center can provide services for fathers and their children. What we’ve learned with over 10 years of education work experience is that fathers/ male role models will go above and beyond for their children. We offer safe spaces and comprehensive programming to give fathers the opportunity to develop skills necessary to support their children’s academic development. Our programs consist of workshops, training’s, and events designed specifically for fathers, uncles, grandparents, and influential male role models to play an active role in their child’s education.
