Making a difference for fathers

Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota's FATHER Project offers services for low-income, non-custodial dads to help them support their children financially, emotionally and physically. At the FATHER Project we believe that the positive involvement of both parents is important to the healthy development of children and increases their chances of leading a safe, happy childhood and growing into mature adults. Since 1999 the FATHER Project has been changing lives for Minnesota fathers and their families.

The word "FATHER" in the FATHER Project name stands for: Fostering Actions To Help Earnings and Responsibility.
