Research shows that children whose fathers take an active role in their educational lives earn better grades, score higher on tests, enjoy school more and are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college. Additionally, children have fewer behavior problems when fathers listen to and talk with them regularly and are active in their lives. A good father is part of a good parent team and is critical to creating a strong family structure. Strong family structures produce children who are more academically proficient, socially developed and self-assured. Such children become adults who are valuable assets to their communities.
The 2011 Million Father March is managed by The Black Star Project, U.S.A., and sponsored by the Open Society Foundation’s Campaign for Black Male Achievement. The Jenkins County Family Enrichment Center is coordinating local efforts.
