NRFC Webinar Next Week
Outreach, Recruitment, and Retention for Responsible Fatherhood Programs:
Lessons Learned
Wednesday, September 19, 2018; 1:00-2:30 p.m. EDT
Free NRFC Technical Assistance Webinar
The Office of Family Assistance, through the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC), is providing this technical assistance webinar for all responsible fatherhood practitioners, including current OFA grantees, and other interested stakeholders.
Getting fathers through the door is one of the biggest challenges faced by fatherhood programs, but then it is important to keep them involved while you work towards positive outcomes for them and their families. Please join us for an overview of relevant research and a conversation about lessons learned from outreach and retention work in responsible fatherhood programs.
More information, including speakers and registration, can be found

For Dads
Need homework help?
Each school is a little bit different, and each grade has its own challenges and benefits. From Pre-K to college, being involved with your child's education is important. For many parents, helping with homework can seem daunting. How much time do you spend? What if you don't know the answer? What if your kids don't want your help.
Fatherhood.gov's Homework Help section offers some tips and resources to help you navigate homework help like a pro.

New to the Library from the NRFC:
Fathers - and father-like figures - play an important role in the lives of children. The time fathers spend engaged in activities with their children and the financial supports they help provide are linked to the health and well-being of children at all ages. This resource provides up-to-date information about fathers' involvement, and notably, how they are spending more time with their children now than in the past.
An NRFC team visited the Fathers and Families Center in Indianapolis on April 23 and 24, 2018. The team had the opportunity to talk with program staff, participants, graduates, and community partners. This NRFC Spotlight highlights aspects of the Fathers and Families Center work with fathers that may be of interest to other fatherhood practitioners.
