Join us in our Mission:
We empower fathers who are separated or estranged from their children, to be pillars within their children's lives and in bringing fathers back to the forefront of the family. By empowering fathers, we create a coalition of men and youths who are COMMITTED, ACTIVE, RESPONSIBLE, AND ENGAGED.
We accomplish this by Men Mentoring Men, who then mentor our youths. Through this coalition, we will strengthen the family and our society.
"Every family deserves a good father. Moreover, every father deserves to have a good family. And, for the sake of humanity we need good men." - Mr. Wade Sr.

Children are seeing more dysfunction in the world without even leaving home.
The authority of fatherhood is challenged daily by the roles played out in the media. It's time for the REAL fathers who C.A.R.E. (Committed, Active, Responsible and Engaged) to take action and answer the silent cry of our children.
