Fatherhood: The Life Of A Father Sessions provides open dialogue on what motivates and hinders fathers/father figures in our community. During our monthly meetings we discuss the role of fatherhood to create bonds and networking opportunities. Subject-matter experts are welcome to schedule a speaking engagement at a session that will aid in building up men. Meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of every month at the Family and Youth Service Center 1120 Government St. Baton Rouge, Louisiana 7pm. You can find the Fatherhood meeting schedule on the Upcoming Events page.
