Previous Program:
​Program for dads began March 7 in St. Michaels

The. St. Michaels Community Center is helping dads and men learn or brush up on their fathering skills with a program beginning on Tuesday, March 7 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The course consists of 12 weekly sessions ending on May 23 and taking place at SMCC’s location during renovations at 207 N. Talbot Street in St. Michaels, Md.
 
The free program includes dinner for participants, with limited participation and pre-registration recommended.

The program is facilitated by the Responsible Fathers Initiative and follows the National Fatherhood Initiative’s evidence-based 24/7 Dad® curriculum to help build stronger family connections for dads.

Developed by fathering and parenting experts, the community-based program helps men develop the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to get—and stay—involved with their children. 

The program focuses on key fathering characteristics—like fathering styles, discipline, and work/family balance—and helps men evaluate their own parenting skills, as well as their fathering role models. 

The Initiative provides communication and engagement skills and provides fathers with an understanding of the importance of their roles in the family while providing the skills and tools needed to empower fathers to be the best they can be.

More is at www.responsiblefathersintiative.org.
 
For more information or to enroll in the program, contact SMCC Executive Director Patrick Rofe using the form on this page.

Active adults often take advantage of our free, weekly lunches with guest speakers and social programs that promote exercise and brain health. A $2 donation is suggested only. 

​In fact, local doctors often refer their patients to the SMCC for events and activities that help keep older adults active and mentally stimulated.
