Escambia County - Fatherhood Logo

We hope to improve the health and well-being of infants and their families by empowering fathers and father figures to be knowledgeable, involved, and emotionally engaged with their children.​​​

Children who grow up with involved fathers experience better mental, emotional, educational, and social outcomes, and are:

  • 39% more likely to earn mostly A’s in school.

  • 45% less likely to repeat a grade.

  • 60% less likely to be suspended or expelled from school.

  • 2X as likely to go to college or find stable employment after high school.

  • 75% less likely to have a teen birth.

  • 80% less likely to spend time in jail.

T.E.A.M. Dad can help!

  • Parenting & Co-Parenting Education

  • Workforce Development & Economic Stability

  • Personal Development
