Fatherhood Partnership Program, Anoka County Community Action Program

The Fatherhood Partnership Program provides a bridge of partnership services to support ACCAP Head Start fathers in Anoka County. Resources and programming are made available for dads to support their role as a parent in their young children’s lives.

This includes the Fathers Reading Every Day (FRED) program, father-child activity nights that are geared to the interests of dads and their children, a fatherhood support group and having partners share resources and information related to issues fathers face. Participation in the ACCAP Head Start Fatherhood events has increased 136% over the past two years and many success stories have occurred.
