Father EmpowermentTM Model A Low Cost, But Powerful Way to Increase Responsible Fatherhood In Your Community
|
On a beautiful spring morning, twenty-five years ago, two baby boys were born in the same hospital. They were very much a like, these two boys. Both grew up with a loving mother, both were healthy, both went to school—as young boys are—both were filled with hope for their future.
Five years ago, these boys now men, celebrated the birth of their first child.
Today, they are still very much alike. Both have a job. And as it turns out, both live in the same neighborhood.
But there is a difference. One of these men is an active father in the life of his child. The other has not seen his child in more than year.
|
Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes
the difference in fathers’ lives? It isn't always that
one father wants to be involved and the other
doesn't.
The difference lies in what each person knows and
how he makes use of that knowledge. Both of
these men grew up without a father but one uses a
father/mentor to call on when he has questions
about raising his own child.
The other man, he doesn't know what being a
good father means. He has no one to look to for
advice and help in raising his child. Therefore, he
struggles with his responsibilities as a father.
And that is why I am writing you and people like
you about the Father Empowerment Program. The
purpose of this Father Empowerment Program is to
provide fathers the support and guidance needed
to navigate the various stages of parenthood.
What Made The Difference?
|
You see, most programs for fathers are based on the
compliance model, which is where they are told what to do.
Therefore, he goes and completes this task and returns
for the next step. He then goes and completes that task
and returns for next step and so on. Thus, these fathers
become dependent on your staff and program in order to
fulfill their responsibilities.
The Father Empowerment Model, as demonstrated in the
book “Become A Touchdown Dad,” helps fathers to
identify their areas of need and allows them to choose the
tasks to work on. Your staff then provides fathers the
guidance and direction needed to navigate the various
systems.
Just as important, the Empowerment Model builds support
teams and mentors from within the fathers’ circle of
influence who want to see them succeed as a father;
therefore, fathers begin to benefit from the help they
receive from their support team and it is the team that
helps hold them accountable, not your staff.
Why Father Empowerment Works
|
While the Father Empowerment Model uses mentors to help fathers identify responsibilities and needs, build a
support system, develop parenting skills that encourage positive behaviors, improve communication and
strengthen relationships within their family. The secret to getting your fathers to be more responsible is not in
providing incentives and rewards, it is in strengthening their relationship with their children. There is no greater
motivation to be responsible than when a father has a meaningful relationship with his children.
Therefore, a Dads Club option can be used to provide fathers a sense of belonging in a non-threatening
environment. At club meetings, fathers can naturally identify with and be mentored by positive role models as
they attend structured meetings, activities and events. When fathers and their children attend, they are
empowered as they receive support, encouragement and direction.
When you empower fathers to be responsible, the results are amazing...

An Investment In Our Children

P.S. - About those two men I mentioned at the beginning of this letter: They were both fathers and lived in the
same neighborhood. So what made the difference in their children’s lives?
Knowledge. A role model. And a sense of belonging.
Northcoast University feels strongly that fathers are an important part of the lives of their children. We cannot
however, promise you that every participant in the program will turn into a wonderful, responsible father. But we
can promise you that we will support your organization to help empower struggling fathers by benefiting from
positive role models like millions of men who grew up with fathers.
And as far as our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, if within 30 days of purchasing the Father Empowerment

What Other Fatherhood Programs Are Saying:
|
Burl Lemon, Executive Director, Forever Dads in Zanesville, Ohio reports, [Become A Touchdown Dad's Fatherhood Empowerment Model] is able to take the complex challenges fathers face and using football principles provide practical solutions in a way that is informative and yet entertaining. Since sports are a common thread that is shared among most men, the message is delivered in way that fathers can identify with and apply to their situation.
Dr. Jerome Perkins, Program Director, Christlife Ministries in Pueblo, Colorado said, "Once completing our program, fathers were asking for more, but we had no other options . . . The Fatherhood Empowerment Project will fill this gap and allow us to continue to serve these fathers in a way that is meaningful and cost effective.
Mark Robinson, Assistant Program Director, Fatherhood Initiative in Toledo, Ohio believes, "The Fatherhood Empowerment Project provides a way for fathers to spend quality time with their children, feel a sense of belonging, and identify natural mentors from their own circle of influence . . . This Project is helping future generations of children to have active, responsible fathers."

I know the Father Empowerment Model may seem to go against societal trends for working
with fathers, but we believe that if you give men the tools and support to be a good father,
they will respond to their children with open arms.
