Supporting fathers and father figures in Harris County, TX.
A 9-week fatherhood promotion program focused on strengthening families and building confident, capable fathers.
The Fathers First Program is a fatherhood promotion initiative serving fathers, father figures, and community fathers ages 18 and older in Harris County, Texas. The program is designed to strengthen families by equipping fathers with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to be actively engaged parents and positive contributors within their homes and communities.
Participants who join Fathers First take part in a structured 9-week experience that focuses on:
- Responsible Fatherhood
- Healthy Relationship Development
- Co-parenting skills
- Economic stability
The program provides education and guided discussion in a supportive environment where fathers can learn from experienced facilitators and from one another.
Fathers First recognizes that fathers play a critical role in child development, family stability, and long-term community well-being. In addition to parenting education, participants are connected to community resources that may support their individual goals, including workforce training, employment services, and other supportive services as needed.
The program is built on the belief that when fathers are supported, families are strengthened — and when families are strengthened, communities grow stronger.
