Recruiting and Engaging Fathers as Parent Leaders
Dads matter! Their involvement in the lives of their children, as well as advocating for children and involvement in decision-making for services for children is critical, valuable, and much needed. Too often, early childhood systems leave dads out, excluding them either by overlooking them or undervaluing their abilities, contributions, and interests.
The National Center for Family and Parent Leadership hosted a webinar on January 18, 2024 that featured experts in fatherhood initiatives that shared effective ways organizations and state agencies can recruit and engage fathers as they work to embed family and parent leadership as their new way of working.
Webinar panelists:
Kevin Lavendar Jr., Founder and Executive Director, Fatherhood Network
Adnoris "Bo" Torres, Co-founder Padres Fuertes Initiative
Erik Vecere, Chief Partner Success Officer, National Fatherhood Initiative
