Strong fathers help build strong families.

Through the New American Pathways Fatherhood Initiative, fathers are finding meaningful opportunities to connect with their children, strengthen family relationships, and build confidence in their role as parents. Hosted through our Parents as Teachers program, these quarterly gatherings combine practical parenting conversations with time for fathers and children to learn, play, and grow together. During a recent event, fathers reflected on their own childhood experiences, discussed ways to build healthy parent-child relationships, and ended the day with interactive games alongside their children. To ensure every family can fully participate, Parent Educators provided interpretation and language support in Swahili, Burmese, and Dari. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many fathers sharing that these gatherings provide a welcoming space where they feel encouraged and supported in staying actively involved in their children's lives. When families are supported, communities grow stronger. #NewAmericanPathways #FatherhoodInitiative
