In 2017, we were contracted by DCYF to lead the coordination of the Rhode Island Fatherhood Initiative (RIFI) to increase father engagement and improve outcomes for children and families.

Along with support and community, our goals include engaging fathers to

• provide authentic input to state agencies and programs

• partner with fathers to provide leadership and input to RIFI steering committee

• work with father leaders to increase their knowledge and advocacy skills

• promote public awareness for policy and practice reform

Together we can make a difference not only in the day to day lives of Rhode Island fathers but on a state policy level!

Monthly Meetings are every First Thursday 9:30-11am and location varies.

Membership is open to agencies, state partners, and father leaders.

Contact Christian Nunez with questions or to get involved.
