It focuses on the characteristics that men need to be involved fathers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This community-based program helps men develop the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to get and stay involved with their children. 24:7 Dad focuses on key fathering characteristics like masculinity, discipline, and work/family balance and helps men evaluate their own parenting skills, as well as their role as a role model. The program is open to all fathers and father figures, and will be held on Wednesday evenings beginning on Sept. 18 at the KFRC Offices at Trinity Episcopal Church, 205 East Montezuma, Houghton.
