What Is Fathers in Action?

Fathers in Action uses the National Fatherhood Initiative’s 24:7 Dad curriculum which is based on some of the following key principles:

The ability to parent children successfully or unsuccessfully is largely a learned set of behaviors.
Fathers and mothers parent differently.
There are universal aspects of fathering and parenting that exist in all cultures.
Any father, given the chance, can learn to be a great dad and parent.
