We believe that healthy fathers promote and role model nonviolence and respect when they parent their sons.

We promote this belief in alignment with the global White Ribbon Campaign that encourages men to take a public stance against family, intimate partner and gender-based violence. Please take the White Ribbon Pledge! https://justfordads.org/events/2024/white-ribbon-campaign

White Ribbon Campaign — Just For Dads

As the annual White Ribbon Campaign approaches, the Healthy Fathering Collaborative invites Father-Serving organizations and groups to take a public stand against gender-based violence.

We believe that fathers and male mentors play a critical role in modeling nonviolence and respect for others in their families, neighborhoods and communities.

Groups can click below to register and are encourage to start mobilizing their staff, members and clients to engage in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence between November 25th (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) and December 10th (Human Rights Day)

Today is Fathers Walk and hundreds of local schools are welcoming fathers and other caring males into their buildings to support the important role those males play in supporting the education of their students! They will all take the Fathers Walk Pledge

We just finished deliveries of 30,000 Fathers Walk cards to 90 schools in Cuyahoga County! There is quite a buzz in the community about the event this year. Message us if you would like us to send you a digital copy of the card for your own promotional activities

Schools are opening their doors to students throughout Cleveland and surrounding suburbs these days and a buzz is in the air! I've delivered over 21,000 Fathers Walk cards to 70 schools so far. I love this time of year!!

Thank you Male Minority Leadership Group at Orange High School for your generous donation to help us support and empower fathers over the lifespan of fatherhood. We are humbled and honored by your partnership! All of these wonderful young men are at the first stage of fatherhood, preparing and planning to be fathers at the right time for them and their families. And thank you LeShun Ship Collins for mentoring the young men of MMLG!
