A man’s worth is measured by how he parents his children. What he gives them, what he keeps away from them, the lessons he teaches and the lessons he allows them to learn on their own.

~ Lisa Rogers

The mission of the Fame Fathers Initiative is to improve the well-being of children by increasing the proportion of children growing up with involved, responsible, and committed fathers and significant males.

The initiative is a response to escalating social concerns regarding “father absence” by providing fathers with access to services designed to prepare them to better meet the emotional, psychological, and financial needs of their children.

The initiative is a collaborative effort among several local fatherhood service providers, including:

Dads Do Care
Firm Foundation for Men 
Minister Reggie Ray
Man-Up Movement 
Evangelist Jonathan Greer
Men’s Fraternity: MOTL 
Deacon Jerry Gachett
Mt. Olive Baptist Church “Men of Valor” 
Deacon Rick Owens
S.L.A.A.P (Start Living And Acting Positive) 
Mike Starks
Stark County 
Leonard Washington
