About - The Fatherhood Summit

The Fatherhood Summit is about celebrating and honoring the important role fathers play in the lives of their children. The inaugural Fatherhood Summit, hosted by The Fathers Corps  was held March 16, 2019 in at Merritt College, Oakland. The Fatherhood Summit empowers fathers and father figures. The Summit aims to debunk myths and stereotypes around fatherhood and offer workshops that provide critical information and sustainable strategies for strengthening families. The workshops held at the Fatherhood Summit will cover topics such as Fathers’ Rights and Responsibilities, Men’s Health and Wellness, Education Is Power, Exploring the Skills Needed for Today’s Workforce, Strategies for Fathers to Reengage Their Families and Communities, and so much more! Participants leave with the tools and services they need to be successful leaders and contributors in their families and communities.

“The Fatherhood Summit was a fantastic event that far exceeded my expectations. It was a great forum for addressing the challenges faced by fathers of color and wonderfully celebrated the value fathers contribute to society and local communities.”

To sustain the Summit’s efforts long after it has concluded, a myriad of new programs and services coordinated and implemented by the Fathers Corps, including the Fatherhood Partnership program (FP), have been and will continue to be launched and showcased at the Summit. Using First 5’s model to provide critically needed services, the Fatherhood Partnership (FP) offers best practices to support fathers and father figures in our community. FP participants are required to engage in intensive capacity-building activities that will establish a “county-wide” standard for partnering agencies who serve fathers.
