A father friendly school is a school in which the school administration and parent organization are intentional in creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for the fathers and father figures of the school community.
Father friendly schools are intentional in specifically inviting role models to be engaged with the school. This is often through the use of nationally recognized father friendly school programs. These role models include fathers, grandfathers, uncles, big brothers, neighbors, coaches, teachers, clergy, etc. Students who may not have a "dad" are encouraged to participate in father engagement programming with an adult role model whom they are free to invite. They may also be partnered through a school or district mentoring program.
Father friendly school programs include opportunities for engagement through the entire school year.
Father Friendly school programs are intended to allow the school community to get past stereotypes about the role of family members in the school community. It is generally moms or grandmothers who carry the burden of supporting the school through school volunteering and educational support. Dads want to be engaged, but often don't know how. Father friendly schools specifically invite them and give them programming that they can identify with and call their own. They are recognized for who they are and the important role that they play in the community.
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.
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.
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.
