WHAT is the Father Engagement Experience™?

  • An invigorating, interactive, in-person strategic planning session facilitated by NFI staff.
  • Your group uses NFI's design process to determine the main focus of the session(s) and what you will accomplish.
  • The facilitators use storyboards, Pure Form Thinking (e.g. not mixing use of the left and right sides of the brain), and multi-voting tactics to help you design strategies.
  • The Father Engagement Experience™ results in your customized Father Engagement Game Plan™. For an example of a Father Engagement Game Plan™," click here.
