One of the biggest problems facing American families is the absence of a father who is responsible, nurturing and giving of himself for the betterment of his family. Statistics show us that children who are raised without a responsible father in the home are more likely to have delinquency issues, including contact with the criminal justIice system, early alcohol and drug use and to live in poverty where food insecurity is a daily reality.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 19.7 million children, more than 1 in 4 live without a father in the home. These children are four times greater risk of living in poverty, seven times more likely to become pregnant as a teenager, more likely to have behavioral problems, more likely to go to prison, twice as likely to suffer obesity, two times more likely to drop out of high school and more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.

The National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian organization that aims to improve the well-being of children through the promotion of responsible fatherhood. Headquartered in Germantown, Maryland, its mission is to improve the well-being of children by increasing the proportion of children with involved, responsible, and committed fathers. NFI was founded on March 7, 1994 by Don Eberly, a civil society scholar.

The Responsible Fathers Initiative uses the NFI 24/7 Dad curriculum for its community-based program and the NFI Inside Out Dad for the fathers who are incarcerated at the Talbot County Detention Center.

Corey Pack, the founder of The Responsible Fathers Initiative, recently joined ItzYourzRadio to discuss his program, his years in local politics and the annual Martin Luther King, Jr Basketball Classic. View the discussion below:
