Success Stories

For years, we've partnered with hundreds Head Starts in 43 states across the country to engage dads and strengthen children, families, and communities. We are proud to count Head Start as one of our premier partners in the important work of changing lives. Here's what some of our Head Start partners have to say about NFI resources and programs:

"Fathers appear to be more attentive to their children and linger in the classroom…[they] are playing a more active role in their child's life by providing more for their intellectual, nutritional, and social needs."
Sandy Martin, Facilitator
Sand Springs Early Head Start (Sand Springs, OK)

"Your resources have been a great recruitment tool for our male involvement program..."
Cathy Reed, Director
Southern Illinois University Carbondale Head Start (Carbondale, IL)

"These materials make it possible for us to continue to form the foundation for an ongoing fatherhood/male initiative."
Steven C. Berfield, Executive Director
Jefferson-Clarion Head Start (Brookville, PA)

"Because of your resources, more fathers are trying to be better fathers by spending family time together, showing affection to their children and they realize that a father's job is never done."
Sharon Merritt, Fatherhood Coordinator
The STOP Organization, Head Start (Norfolk, VA)
