This fall, TWC is launching a new Fatherhood Ministry to meet the needs of men facing unexpected pregnancies. The program is made possible through a grant from CareNet & the National Fatherhood Initiative.

Did you know that 1 out of 3 children in America live apart from their biological fathers and within the African American community nearly 2 out of 3 children live in father-absent homes?  Children who live absent their biological fathers are, on average, at least two to three times more likely to be poor, to use drugs, to experience educational, health, emotional and behavioral problems, to be victims of child abuse, and to engage in criminal behavior than their peers who live with their married, biological (or adoptive) parents.

The Women’s Clinic is ready to help change the tide in our community.  Our fatherhood program will engage men from day one by encouraging men to become active fathers from the first positive pregnancy test, to attending the ultrasound, to receiving ongoing peer coaching and mentoring in fatherhood classes and workshops.  Using NFI’s  Doctor Dad, 24/7 Dad, & Why Knot? curriculum we’ll help men be prepared for their new roles as dads and encourage them to build strong families and healthy relationships.

We are currently looking for the right man to lead this ministry as the Fatherhood Ministry Director and for male volunteers to help minister to dads-to-be.  Please read the job-description for the Fatherhood Ministry Director for more information.

All applicants can submit resumes to megan.hassett@columbustwc.com or call (614) 237-2000 with questions.

Join us for the second annual Benefit Banquet for an inspirational evening featuring clients who made decisions for life and the precious babies who were given the best gift of all, the gift of life!
