The 21st Century Father 

In the United States alone there are more then 68 million fathers, and approximately 35 million have children less than 18 years of age. Today men are stepping up and reclaiming their fatherhood as involved and committed family leaders and need effective and meaningful communities of services and support.  

Divorce occurs in nearly 50% of American marriages, currently separating 45 million fathers and children.

Nuclear families account for less then 25% of Households, reports the New York Times, pointing to the “increase as well as statistics of single-parent households as troubling indicators of deeper societal problems”

A recent Harris Interactive poll reports that “breaking ranks with their father’s 71% of men between the ages of 21-39 report that they would give up some of their pay to spend more time with their family”.

At-risk or suicidal children, and violent crimes committed by teenagers have reached frightening epidemic proportions.

Nearly 75% of inmates in San Quentin prison come from fatherless households. Elder citizens and those facing death want to reclaim and reassert the spiritual and family dimensions of end of life issues and not be abandoned to impersonal care.  

This new paradigm in family life has created an emerging culture complete with a new set of personal and societal problems, but there are no new or effective role models and communities of support to empower this well documented change.  Our mission is to fill this void by providing a socially responsible network of services that solve tough challenges and enable positive growth for all members of the family.  

Fatherhood issues come in many forms and varieties:

Married
Divorced/Single 
Grand 
Step  
Gay  
Incarcerated 
Adoptive
