The National Alliance for Father Friendly Schools is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides information and resources for educators and parent organizations for the purpose of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in the school community. This is essential in providing a positive education experience for our nation's children. Family engagement is a significant part of the school community environment. In many schools, family engagement is a required element in sustaining funding.
Unfortunately, many family members are often unintentionally overlooked and undervalued by educators. NAFFS provides resources to recognize and remove barriers to transformative family engagement.

You might be very surprised at the experience of a father trying to become engaged at a local school. Often, unintentional barriers keep fathers and father figures from volunteering at a local school or coming back after their first experience.
We provide in-depth training on recognizing the pitfalls of first impressions and seemingly innocent comments that turn family members away.
We also recommend best practices that will help your school or district build an inclusive family engagement program that creates a positive school culture and environment.
