About Us

Dads make a difference…which is why the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families is committed to helping fathers become great dads.  Father absence, one of our times’ more disturbing trends, affect mothers and fathers alike, but more significantly places unwarranted hurdles before children.  The Center, a faith-based, nonprofit organization, supports a statewide infrastructure that reduces barriers and strengthens relationships between fathers and families throughout South Carolina.

The Center:
• provides leadership, infrastructure and oversight for the statewide Fatherhood Initiative;
• promotes father-friendly policies while seeking to change adversarial policies that hinder men from re-engaging with their children;
• provides wide-ranging programming support, evaluation and technical assistance for a well-coordinated initiative;
• helps raise funds and provides financial resources to the local programs
• increases awareness about fatherhood in South Carolina and across the nation
