Too often, fathers are left out
of the conversation.

At FFS Hub, we believe every dad deserves support, guidance, and a strong circle, no matter where he’s starting from.

“I didn’t know where to turn… then I found this group. Now I’m the dad I always wanted to be.”

– D. Welch, father

Our Mission

We work to equip fathers with the tools they need to nurture healthy relationships, heal from past wounds, and build a better tomorrow for their families.

The Fatherhood & Family Service Hub offers a welcoming space and evidence-based resources to help fathers thrive, both personally and in their relationships with their children.

Every father deserves support, guidance, and a strong circle.

What’s DAD got to do with it?

Research shows that the children of involved fathers are:

  • 2 times more likely to go to college
  • 80% less likely to spend time in jail
  • 75% less likely to experience teen pregnancy

Statistically, children of absent fathers account for:

  • 71% of all high school dropouts
  • 90% of homeless and runaway children
  • 63% of youth suicides

Overall, the impact that fathers and father figures can make is substantial. Just as there are many positive aspects to father involvement, the effects of father absence can be detrimental as well.

Dads make the difference.
