The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families works to create stronger, more successful families by helping fathers build the skills they need to be responsible and engaged.
We guide the work of five fatherhood programs to provide community-based services and support for fathers and families across the state. We also identify critical issues and obstacles of fatherhood, then educate practitioners, policy makers and the public about how we can solve long-standing societal problems linked to father absence.
