Lastly, to meet the men right where they are, to include the community and prisons to elevate involved fatherhood via honor, encouragenent, accountability, reconciliation and training.
Father Engagement
Every leadership and servant position that a man holds, whether he has children or not, if done well, is ultimately a multigenerational fatherhood position!
When the father is supported and guided on a healthy blueprint of manhood to lead their families and to look over the fence and within the community to train, lead, empower, disciple and mentor; not only will that family become impacted, so will his sphere of influence as well.
Parent Engagement
Both parents have unique contributions to make, and their active participation is essential for the child's success to highlight the point that fathers bring a unique perspectives and experiences to their interactions with their children to compliment the mother's approach.
Their engagement can stimulate critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity in children, contributing to enhanced cognitive development

In Georgia, legitimation is the legal process an unmarried biological father must complete to be recognized as the child’s legal father with enforceable parental rights. Even if he signed the birth certificate, pays child support, or has an established relationship, he does not automatically gain custody or visitation rights unless he legitimates the child (or marries the mother). Once granted, legitimation can allow the father to seek custody, parenting time/visitation, decision-making rights, and can also establish inheritance rights between father and child.
