New Pathways Facilitators
Our facilitators are more than just top-notch teachers. They work as advocates for the dads in our program. They serve 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
150+ Good Dads facilitators serve New pathways dads throughout Missouri. 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 also take on case management responsibilities. Many of our facilitators receive hourly compensation for their work with Good Dads.
Interested in facilitating? We wish to expressly call on the men to facilitate classes with Good Dads. Male volunteers are critically important for Good Dads’ programs that expressly target fathers. We hope to send the message that father involvement is imperative to a child’s wellbeing, and we can’t do that without positive male role models!
