Fathers are extremely important to the economic and social development of children. The Franklin County Extension Office partnered with the Franklin County Career Development Center to teach incarcerated fathers how to become nurturing dads to their children and develop healthy relationships with their children’s mothers - even though they are away. This class met for 12 weeks. Participants reported that the experience and educational information they received helped them be better fathers and positively impacted their lives. The Center has requested that the course be taught again in the fall, and an informational video was produced which incorporated the views of the fathers about this program.
