• Types of Maltreatment: Does not target any specific kind of maltreatment
• Target Population: Fathers from age 14 to 80 in any aspect of fatherhood: married with children, non-residential/custodial, single, addicted, impoverished, incarcerated, teenage, military, step, stand-in, or about to become a father.

The intent and purpose of the Father’s Time Fatherhood Academy is to systematically engage men in the embracement of values that are life-giving and life-sustaining, for the benefit of themselves and their families. It is a multicultural educational class for fathers and fathers-to-be, which teaches the basic fundamentals and essentials of fatherhood referred to as Life Values. Fathers are given the tools and the process to create their own personal visionary plans, which can be directly implemented in their homes and relationships.

The dissemination of Father’s Time Fatherhood Academy information is intended for educational, motivational, and transformational purposes to hopefully have a positive impact all communities throughout the nation. The Fatherhood Academy is based on principles that tend to remain timeless regardless of a father’s geographical location, economic status, race, religion, sex, age or disability.

• Be able to develop a personal spiritual foundation to draw from and use as a compass to direct decision-making and to better apply fatherhood leadership skills when approaching situations
• Have the tools and understand the process to create and implement a full visionary plan
• Be a valuable contributory asset to his community and to his profession
• Contribute, develop and maintain healthy relationships with the children under his influence
• Increase the level of participation he has in the schools and other important areas of his child’s life.
• Have stronger parental and co-parental relationships
• Bond with an Accountability Partner to help one another
• Have access and interaction with the Fatherhood Advisory Team
• Gain support and dedication from father-friendly and family-focused organizations in the community
