What We Do:
Raising Awareness and Removing Barriers to Family Engagement in American Schools
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.
Conference and Workshop Speakers
The National Alliance for Father Friendly Schools is able to provide speakers for keynote presentations and educational workshops. Currently, Keith Schumacher serves as our Executive Director. He can inspire your audience to look at family engagement differently and bring in more family members to be engaged and volunteer at your school.
As a national leader, Keith Schumacher has had a goal of giving every child an opportunity to have strong positive role models leading them to the greatest success possible.
Keith is available for keynote presentations and as a workshop facilitator. Speaking fees are generally waived for school districts and nonprofit organizations. You can get this nationally recognized speaker at your event for just the cost of travel expenses. Click the button below to learn more.
Family Engagement Training
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.
