Overview
Mission
The Father's Group works to enhance the lives of the Black community through youth education, leadership, economic empowerment and community advocacy, while strengthening our community, eliminating barriers and helping them reach their full potential.
What it reported doing in 2025
We envision a world where Black and Brown youth, regardless of their circumstances, are given the opportunity and support to grow into responsible, confident, and successful adults. Our mentorship program is committed to guiding these young minds toward a brighter future and breaking the cycle of crime and delinquency, while building a stronger, more equitable society. Through compassionate mentorship and guidance, we aim to intercept and prevent the challenges that at-risk youth often face, creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive and realize their full potential. Our program is more than just a safety net; it is a springboard to opportunity and empowerment. We focus on imparting crucial life skills, instilling values of responsibility, and fostering a strong sense of community. Our commitment to addressing the unique needs of Black and Brown youth ensures that we are proactive in tackling the systemic issues that contribute to their vulnerabilities. In our program, financial literacy, job training, resume building, and credit building are not just concepts but tangible tools for a brighter future. We envision a world where every participant has the knowledge and resources to make informed financial decisions, access meaningful employment opportunities, and build a foundation for a secure and prosperous life. While we have a special focus on Black and Brown youth, our doors are open to all, fostering an inclusive and diverse community. This program is still currently in development. We do have a contract with ODHS and have worked with one of their children (met 4 times) with a list of many more families and children of theirs to work with.
