What Are The Goals of YPC?

The goals of YPC include increasing access to evidence-based prevention programs for teen parents, improving coordination of services for teen parents inclusive of and beyond high school graduation, increasing recruitment and retention of young fathers within PLP, and improving overall fathering practices for young fathers ages 14-21.

What Will YPC Offer?

YPC will coordinate quarterly meetings within all 3 regions of NJ, along with annual statewide meetings to bring together providers supporting adolescent parents. YPC will also offer its partners direct support for young fathers along with technical assistance to implement best practices in order to better serve the adolescent parenting community.

Join Our Young Fathers United Group!

Are You a Young Father Aged 14-21?

Join our Young Fathers United group, where we’re dedicated to supporting you on your journey as a father. Our program is based on the 24/7 Dad’s curriculum, a series of sessions developed by experts at the National Fatherhood Institute specifically for young dads like you.

Over 10 to 12 sessions, you’ll participate in 1-hour weekly group meetings designed to help you develop the essential skills to be the best father, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our sessions cover important topics such as discipline, parenting, relationships, communication, work-life balance, and evaluating your own parenting skills. We offer a flexible, hybrid format—join in person or virtually, with sessions available statewide to suit your schedule.

As an added benefit, fathers who participate in our group sessions will receive a gift card for each session attended, plus additional compensation at the end of the cohort. Take a meaningful step forward in your fatherhood journey—join Young Fathers United today!
