About Us
The vision for Fatherhood Focus was born from founder Ken Waller’s firsthand observation of the declining involvement of fathers and positive male role models in families and communities across the nation. Having grown up without his father present, Ken understands the profound impact that father absence can have on a child’s emotional, social, and academic development.
Driven by a desire to better understand this issue, Ken conducted surveys among men and women regarding the effects of limited or absent male involvement in their lives. The responses revealed a consistent theme: many participants believed their lives may have taken a different path had they benefited from the presence, guidance, and support of an engaged father or male mentor.
Common responses included improved academic performance, avoidance of substance abuse, reduced involvement with the criminal justice system, and delayed parenthood.
In response to these findings,
Fatherhood Focus was established to encourage, educate, and empower men to become actively engaged in the lives of their children. Through community-based and faith-centered workshops, seminars, mentoring initiatives, and educational programs.
Fatherhood Focus equips fathers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to fulfill their roles effectively. We believe that informed fathers become empowered fathers, and empowered fathers help build stronger families and healthier communities.
Our programs serve males ages 10 and older from all backgrounds and walks of life. We are committed to inspiring personal growth, leadership, and responsibility while helping men become positive influences within their families, faith communities, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
The mission of Fatherhood Focus is to bridge the gap between custodial and non-custodial fathers by promoting meaningful engagement, effective communication, and healthy co-parenting relationships. We are dedicated to the ongoing growth and development of fathers while fostering strong, positive, and lasting relationships between fathers and their children.
Fatherhood Focus is proud to be part of a growing movement dedicated to reconnecting fathers with their children, strengthening family bonds, and creating a legacy of responsible fatherhood that will positively impact future generations.
