Center for Fathering is a not-for-profit organization with Institute of Public Character status established in 2001. Its mission is to Empower Fathers to Strengthen Families. Its programmes and workshops help fathers in all life stages to become Effective Fathers.
Centre for Fathering is pleased to be supported by the Central Singapore Community Development Council’s (Central Singapore CDC) Bless our City Grant Programme to make valuable insights and practical fathering tips freely accessible to fathers from disadvantaged backgrounds. They will benefit from the following programmes and workshops:
1.ICAN Fathering Workshop
Over the years, thousands of fathers have benefited from our signature workshop. ICAN stands for the four core functions of an effective father: Involvement, Consistency, Awareness, and Nurturance. At the end of this workshop, fathers will know how important they are in their children’s lives, how to spent Quality Time with his children, how to be an Authoritative parent, how to grow in their awareness and understanding of their children, how to develop their children emotionally, among other things.
2.Breakfast with Dad
Breakfast with Dad is a 2-hour programme that fosters closer bond and better communication between fathers and their children, ages 5-8. Four fun and impactful activities will encourage conversations and create memories for the father-child pairs. Tips taken from the ICAN Fathering Workshop are embedded in the activities so that fathers will take home actionable principles.
3.Adventure@DAH
The activities in this programme are challenging and meaningful and will appeal to slightly older children (ages 9 and above). Qualified personnel will guide the father-child pairs through the Rockwall, Dark Maze, and High Rope Elements. Working as a team, fathers and children will get to see a side of each other they might not have seen before. They will develop a new appreciation of each other’s strengths, talents, creativity, and tenacity. This four hours will definitely be time well spent.
