What Squires Empowering Young Dads does
Mission
Squires Empowering Young Dads is an organization created to address the needs of young fathers. Navigating fatherhood at any age is a callenge, when you add adolescence, it only compounds the situation. Understanding the complexities of being a young father, Squires Empowering Young Dads provides the education and support a young dad needs as he navigates fatherhood and discovers what it means to be a parent. The mission of squires empowering dads is to empower young fathers with the knowledge and support to provide emotional and physical care for their children. The organization deliberately offers support to 14-to-25-year-old fathers, as it recognizes the complex and difficult circumstances men face when becoming parents at a young age. By offering education, coping mechanisms, and support to these young men they can overcome the numerous obstacles they will face.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Our knight project is a six-month peer-development program in which young fathers complete achievements in financial literacy, parenting education, reading to their children, participation in squires events, and group sessions. Participants who complete the program are recognized at a knighting ceremony and invited to serve as peer mentors and leaders. Squires also hosts annual family day events to celebrate fatherhood and build community. Leadership and program participants attend the international fathers & families conference, where squires has historically presented workshops.
