Current
Illinois Fatherhood Initiative (IFI)
The mission of Illinois Fatherhood Initiative is to end father absence by connecting children and fathers and promoting responsible fatherhood by equipping men to be better fathers and father figures.
IFI has identified 4 main areas of program concentration to try to realize our mission: Education, Health, Workplace, and The Illinois Fathers' Resource Network.
IFI believes that our programs can help strengthen the father-child relationship at each stage of life from birth to adulthood.
