Father's Matter works together with governmental entities and other local non-profits to jointly create and maintain an environment that prioritizes father engagement as a critical factor in strengthening families.
We understand that children and adolescents that have close and positive relationships with their fathers are less likely to engage in risky behaviors and/or substance and alcohol use.
Father's Matter will actively reach out to young fathers through community events and utilize our community partners to promote our programming and gain referrals.
Our programming will include direct services such as a Father's Support Group, classes about fathering, family bonding events, and workshops about navigating the systems that can create barriers to father engagement.
Join us for two days of powerful talks, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to strengthen father-child relationships and build stronger families.

Motivational Youth Speaker
Gabe grew up without a father – one who wanted him aborted. He joined in with gang members because they gave him a sense of belonging.
Today, Gabe Salazar is a powerful motivational speaker who transforms his painful past into hope for others. His story of overcoming abandonment, finding purpose, and breaking cycles of dysfunction resonates with fathers who face their own challenges.
