The Father Center of New Jersey is a nonprofit organization located in the cities of Trenton and Burlington, NJ. Established in 1859, the mission of the Organization is to "empower men, fathers and families to achieve self-sufficiency." The Father Center of New Jersey is a nationally-recognized leader in the field of fatherhood that focuses on strengthening families and communities while improving outcomes for children living in poverty by providing services that target men and fathers. Programs are designed to encourage fathers to make a positive impact on their families through active participation in carefully designed sessions that assist with employment and job readiness, parenting skills, anger management, and health and wellness, among others. The result is that communities are strengthened by men who embrace the challenge of fatherhood, accept financial responsibility for themselves and their families, and commit to the long-term health and stability of their children, families, and themselves as individuals. |
