Learning & Development to Build Knowledge

When implementing effective father and male involvement strategies, the first questions an organization or network may ask are:

  • Does our staff understand the importance and value of positive father and male involvement?

  • Does our organization understand our community’s diverse father and male populations and the considerations in serving these specific populations?

  • Is our staff equipped with the skills and knowledge to engage fathers and males?

Organizational strategies to engage fathers and males start with in-depth learning and development opportunities. The Strategies Center offers on-site learning and development in multiple formats, including web-based distance learning, 2-3 hour workshops, half-day, full-day, and multiple-day intensive sessions. Regardless of length, learning and development sessions are customized to meet your specific program, organization or network situation and needs.
