Professional Development
How does a small in size nonprofit continue as an influential source of professional development and more?
The short answer is continuous quality improvement. It takes a lot of passion, commitment to excellence, and redefining success to build upon and help others in their journey to be the difference. We are viewed as a high-impact agency centered on family well-being and father engagement and advocates for children and families.
Throughout the past two-plus decades, we have provided professional development training, conferences, specialty credential, and leadership courses to over thirty thousand individuals. In 2022, we hosted over 600 colleagues from over fifteen nations at our annual conference. Our leadership development program had an overall rating of 4.89, with almost 200 professionals that completed this dynamic model. The number of people supported through our organization is not as significant as the impact.
Let's continue in 2023 to be a place we all can come together and be a difference in the lives of others.
Leadership
Our 2023 agency theme is Be The Difference!
Our organization is committed to supporting the capacity of practitioners through an array of programs by the Fathers and Families Coalition of America, as well as global partnerships to expand skills and knowledge and be the best professional to raise support for parents' and families' well-being. We have a dynamic leadership program for both professionals and parents. The expressions of the content in our models are based on evidence-based strategies and proven skills used by thousands of graduates.
We set a high standard for parent engagement workshops at our annual conference. Our conferences or programs intend that parents or professionals attend an experience, not an event. We ensure sessions for parents to take away from experts to grow in their journey as a dad or mom. We bridge technology with our program to provide parents and professionals with can connect, create communities and engage.
Get ready to take engagement and opportunities to the next level. We want to have you in a place of collaboration, share knowledge, discover experts that have joined our organization as faculty members, and so much more. Text "Be The Difference" at 424-310-0024.
