To your kids, you’re a provider, a protector and a role model. You’re the support they need to thrive.
Some days, you have it handled. Others, you may feel like you’re traveling alone without a map.
We understand and we can help.
Working together, we can draw the map that gets you where you want to be. Being a great father. Being your best. Every day.
The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families guides and supports 6 Fatherhood Organizations across the state.
Every year, we help thousands of fathers regain or remain a positive presence in their kids’ lives.
We assist in setting a plan uniquely designed for every father.

23% of children live in father-absent homes (More than 17 million children in America)
71%of all high school dropouts come from father-absent homes
90% of all homeless/runaway children
63% of all youth suicides
71% experience early parenthood/teen pregnancy
60% less likely to be expelled from school
2x's more likely to go to college
75% less likely to experience teen pregnancy
80% less likely to spend time in jail
Your past doesn't have to be their future. Or yours.
