Greetings from the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood. This e-newsletter keeps the community informed about the Commission's four objectives: funding fatherhood programs, engaging the community, offering trainings and policy recommendations to strengthen fathers and families.  These efforts help fathers become better parents, partners and providers.  

 

Please check our website  at www.fatherhood.ohio.gov for information about what's happening around the state to strengthen fatherhood.

 

Sincerely,

 

J. Tracy Robinson, Executive Director
