WHY NOW
The need is already at our door.
Each month, more than 100 men who want to become stronger fathers are placed on a waiting list.
​
They are ready to do the work. Ready to show up for their children. Ready to build stability for their families.
​
But space limits how many fathers we can serve.
​
The Vision for the Future Campaign changes that.

THE NEW SPACE
A new space designed for fathers and families.
Fathers and Families Center is preparing to move to a larger, more flexible space at Brougher Plaza on North Meridian Street. The new center will give FFC the room to expand programming and provide more of the support fathers need in one accessible place.
​
This is not simply a move. It is a capacity-building step that will help more fathers move from waiting lists into life-changing programs.
The new center will include:
​
Flexible classrooms for workshops, group programming, and fatherhood education
Multipurpose rooms for graduations, family nights, and community gatherings
Family resource areas including a clothing closet and food pantry
Private rooms for coaching, case management, and support services
Larger shared spaces that create more room for collaboration, programming, and community connection

IMPACT
The work is already changing lives.
Fathers and Families Center has spent more than three decades helping fathers build stronger relationships, pursue education and employment, and create greater stability for their families. The Vision for the Future Campaign will expand a model that is already making a measurable difference across Central Indiana.
