4th Annual Leadership Summit for Fatherhood

“A Call to Action”

Calling all Community Leaders, Stakeholders, Politicians, and Community-Based Organizers and Faith-Based Community Leaders to our 4th Annual Leadership Summit for Fatherhood.

In the United States, one out of four (18.3 million) children live without a father in the home (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020). There is overwhelming research revealing the association of absent fathers with the widespread negative outcomes in the well-being of children (physically, socially and emotionally) at all stages of life.

San Bernardino Fatherhood seeks to collaboratively address these issues with community leaders (e.g., businesses, education, faith-based, city and county governments, health providers, law enforcement, community-based organizations, legal services, court systems, etc.) by changing cultures and building foundations to effectively engage and serve fathers equitably, resulting in healthier outcomes for children, stronger families, and safer communities.

At this Leadership Summit, community leaders will be presented with information to self-assess their organization or agency’s ability to effectively engage fathers in services/programs through the use of National Fatherhood Initiative’s, NFI’s Father-Friendly Check-Up Tool.

A representative from National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) will guide the discussion, provide knowledge and awareness on NFI’s Father-Friendly Check-Up Tool, covering the four assessment categories that are essential for effectively engaging and retaining fathers in their organizations or agencies. The categories are:

1. Leadership Development.
2. Organizational Development.
3. Program Development.
4. Community Engagement.

San Bernardino Fatherhood stands committed in bringing community leaders, stakeholder, politicians, and faith-based leaders together to learn how to effectively engage and serve fathers in their organizations and agencies, resulting in healthier outcomes for children, families and communities.

Please join us on Saturday, June 27, 2025, for our 4th Annual Leadership Summit for Fathehrhood. More information will be forthcoming or feel free to call (909) 567-9508.
