The FATHER Project, a program of Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota, strives to empower fathers to overcome barriers that prevent them from supporting their children economically and emotionally. During its 2009 fiscal year (October 2008 – September 2009), the FATHER Project served 380 fathers who faced barriers such as low-income levels, unemployment, the lack of a high school diploma, and involvement in various court systems. Goals of the program focus on enhancing fathers’ parenting and employment abilities so that they can more fully support their children both economically and emotionally. This study is done in two parts. The first consists of a long-term social Return on Investment (ROI) analysis using actual FATHER Project outcome measures. The second part of the study consists of a “prospective” ROI analysis.
