Stronger Programs

It takes a lot to be a Stronger father. FFVA helps.

What do we do for moms? We make Stronger Men.

Whether you’re a new dad, a father who needs to improve a few aspects of his relationship with his children and mother or just wanting to ensure you’re heading in the right direction, our foundation is here to make sure your future is bright.

When our men are better prepared, marriages and families are stronger. Studies tell us that by having fathers active in the life of their families, poverty & crime goes down while emotional wellness & educational success goes up. By understanding the complexity and joys of fatherhood and relationships, we help everyone we serve be more successful, which makes our state a better place to live.

They told me that there was no such thing as a perfect dad. That was just what I needed to hear.

Our participants get unedited, “real talk” info straight from experienced dads. In this class, there is no such thing as a dumb question and we still don’t have all the answers. However, once they are done, they are ready to start the greatest journey of all, fatherhood.
