Through the diligent work of OIC/DC staff and its partners, the Fatherhood Program can help to provide tangible evidence for the community that by joining and working together, we can take positive steps to help fathers, families and neighborhoods become stronger, more stable and more economically independent.
Weekly sessions are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday. The certification class times and training vary depending on the program selected.
