Building Youth Capacities for Healthy Futures and Responsible Parenting
Dads Make a Difference (DMAD) works statewide to strengthen the role of fathers using a peer education, youth development, leadership model in collaboration with schools & community agencies. Focusing on the role of fathers in raising children, DMAD educates young men and women about the responsibilities of parenting and the challenges of parenting too soon. Young people who understand parental responsibility are more likely to form strong families that are emotionally and financially secure. These families are the backbone of productive, nurturing communities.
