Fatherhood Matters
The Rhode Island Fatherhood Initiative was formed to increase father engagement and improve outcomes for children and families statewide.
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 our day to day lives but on a state policy level!
“Increasing father involvement in children’s lives strengthens families, which leads to happier, healthier, and safer communities.”
