Washington State Fatherhood Council

The Washington State Fatherhood Council is a coalition of over 35 state and local service providers, academics, dads with lived experience, and advocates working to lift up the voices of fathers to become the fathers their children and families want them to be. The Council hosts no cost Provider Learning Series to strengthen our network of services to meet the unique needs of fathers and co-parenting families. We also work with state and local service providers to host Fatherhood Cafes to bring together providers and fathers to learn about how we can work together to support men to become the fathers their children and families need them to be.
