New Pathways Facilitators

Our facilitators are more than just top-notch teachers. They work as advocates for the dads in our program. They act as mentors and make an immense difference in the lives of dads.
Our skilled facilitators must complete training before they can lead Good Dads classes.

What
Facilitators
Do

Good Dads Facilitators typically work in groups of two to host class once a week at a Good Dads class location. They also host sign-up events, refer dads to the program and scout for new class locations. Some of our facilitators also take on case management responsibilities. Many of our facilitators receive hourly compensation for their work with Good Dads.
