Fathers & Families Support Center FORGE Fatherhood - The Fathers & Families Support Center will implement the FORGE Fatherhood Project to serve 900 community fathers in the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area over five years. The project will deliver an 80-hour Primary Workshop that integrates four curricula: Within My Reach for relationship skills, Family Formation Curriculum for parenting skills, FDIC's Money Smart for financial literacy, and Employment Readiness & Retention training. Fathers will receive individualized case management, employment services, and legal support to improve parenting skills, strengthen co-parenting relationships, and achieve economic stability. The project expects to serve 200 fathers annually, with 160 completing at least 90% of the workshop, resulting in improved father-child engagement, increased financial responsibility, and greater economic mobility for participating families.
