Many young dads want to support their children financially but are having trouble doing so. For dads who are already required to make child support payments, this project will help them meet their financial, and emotional, obligations to their children. The project helps dads become more marketable, with an intensive focus on employment and career issues. All young fathers participate in the Rites of Passage Program, a unique journey of self-discovery that helps them understand their roles and responsibilities as fathers and men. Guided by mentors and elders, and designed with the help of diverse ethnic communities, the Rites of Passage teaches self-discipline, respect and personal responsibility within a culturally relevant context.
Programs begin every other month and are four months long.
