Dads Make a Difference 

Because two are stronger than one

BSF dad and daughter

Research shows that a two-parent family is the best environment for healthy child development. Children with involved, loving fathers perform better in school and have higher self-esteem.

Yet, for many families, “dad” is often missing, lacks confidence in his role as a parent, or doesn't see himself as an important factor in his child’s growth and well-being.

The Dads Make a Difference program emotionally and financially engages fathers in the lives of their children. Through ongoing education and peer support, dads learn that they are indeed vital to the continual growth and success of their children.
