Fathers Forward Overview
All children deserve a loving father who is actively involved in their life. The Alabama Parent Education Center's Fathers
Forward program, in partnership with A Seed Inc, St. James Family Worship, Elmore County Department of Human Resources,
and Elmore County District Circuit Court Child Support Division, provides programming to assist Elmore County fathers to
connect with their children legally, emotionally, and financially.
Our Services Include:
Individual Assistance and Planning
Our program staff work individually with participants to create an Individual Development Plan to assist them with overcoming
barriers to education, gainful employment, and parenting skills.
Fathers Classes
Classes are designed for Dads to increase their parenting skills. Sessions include the 24/7 Dad Class, Resource Sessions (to
connect Dads to community resources), and Skill Sessions (to develop employment skills, assist with education preparation and
activities designed to assist Dads in planning time with their children).
Mentoring Support
Mentoring support is provided by community volunteers to help program participants connect with other Dads. Program Mentors
help Fathers Forward participants with educational attainment, employment preparation, and in their development of positive
parenting skills.
