Overview

Mission

To engage fathers, youth, and families to build sttonger, more vital relationships through a dunamic use of ilm, poetry and creative expression.

What it reported doing in 2023

The youth program "identity in ink' uses poetry and spoken words as catalysts to engage middle and high school students in a process of self-reflection and social and emotional learning centered on their identity. Three core questions frame students' creative process; where did i come from?, where am i going?, how do i get there? Mentors trained in reel fathers' method create a safe, courageous space for students to reflect on how their father and family and culture have shaped their character, aspirations and values. Youth express in poetic/creative writing and art images what their reflections reveal, sharing heartfelt, often difficult emotions with their teachers and peers. For many youth the process is cathartic. For others it brings newfound gratitude and appreciation. Students tap creative energies, gain emotional clarity and build authentic voice. They imagine the future life they want for themselves and develop the impetus to work for it. In 2022 approximately 200 students were served in english and art classes and service learning programs in public and charter schools.
