National Latino Fatherhood and Family Institute

Palabra. Become a man of honor. Be a man of your word.

Purpose

The goal of NLFFI is to address the multifaceted needs of Latino men and foster a positive approach to working with Latino populations, building on the strengths of familiar cultural traditions.

Through research, training, and direct service, the institute helps fathers of all ages develop strong, active roles in the lives of their children, while concurrently addressing the very painful aspects of child abuse, domestic violence, gang violence, school failure, illiteracy, teen pregnancy and other related issues.

At the community level, the center provides culturally sensitive social and educational services with programs designed to:

  • Strengthen and preserve families
  • Prevent teen pregnancy
  • Influence men to become strong fathers and responsible men
  • Provide culturally sensitive physical and mental health services

At the national level, the center provides services for associated professionals including:

  • Consulting
  • Seminars and conferences
  • Onsite training and curriculum
  • Publications
