The Global Fatherhood Foundation (GFF), based in Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County, MN, is a dedicated advocate and mentorship organization committed to empowering fathers, strengthening families, and fostering youth integration. Our mission is to provide fathers with a voice and support system to address challenges that impact their role in the family and society.
We work with fathers across Hennepin County, Anoka County, Ramsey County, and Greater Minnesota, encouraging them to enroll in responsible fatherhood programs and remain actively engaged. Our approach goes beyond just learning parenting techniques—we focus on long-term participation in programs that promote child development, family support, youth integration, education, and positive child discipline to help fathers become responsible, engaged, and resilient parents.
Addressing Barriers to Fatherhood
Many fathers face significant challenges that hinder their ability to actively participate in their children’s lives, including:
- Income instability and racial disparities
- Spousal abandonment and domestic abuse
- Unemployment and workforce barriers
- An unfair justice system and incarceration
