Fathers for Life
A Head Start Innovation and Improvement Grant Project

Fathers for Life Goals

• Increase parenting education and support for fathers

• increase fathers' access to employment and job training opportunities

• Improve the relationships between mothers and fathers of young children

• Improve training for professionals who work with families

As a part of the Fathers for Life project, a diverse team of specialists worked to create a list of resources to support professionals as they work with children and families. Special efforts have been made to identify materials suitable for work with families with a member involved in the criminal justice system. Resources include books for children, fathers and professionals.  The books lists have been approved by the Office of Head Start for use in Head Start Programs.
