What's Next?

Lately, I've been seeking out where I want to take The Father Project. What is my point? What is the mission and scope of The Father Project? In doing so, I've learned about Social Entrepreneurs. These are people who create organizations devoted to a cause serving the greater good. The concept alone, while very ideological, seemed right up my alley and has inspired me to move boldly forward to where no man has gone before.

After further consideration, my intention is to move forward in an effort to impact communities in a way that causes them to become more family focused vs. "what about me" focused. Across all socioeconomic communities (some worse than others) children have suffered the absence of their parents for some reason or another. I acknowledge the varying degrees of impact, but the relativity does not negate the impact of each childs struggle. It is not my unrealistic intention to rid children's lives of troubles and challenges, but rather inspire parents to more fully engage in serving as children's guides in order to adequately prepare our next generation of decision makers. Childhood is about enjoying childhood and preparing for what's next. It takes a village and, in the end, the question remains the same...Are we as parents, and citizens of a community larger than ourselves, doing everything we can in the best interest of our children and our communities? Ideally, we do this while maintaining a healthy balance along the way.

The plan of The Father Project is to market to communities via community based events and group speaking engagements. We will also support and educate mothers and fathers through our local team of mentoring professionals.
