Looking to build a stronger bond with your child? Our Extension fatherhood programs are based on research we conducted in Wisconsin with fathers across the state. Our fatherhood programs provide research-based parenting strategies and opportunities to connect with other parents. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your relationship with your child, build parenting confidence, or connect with a supportive community, our programs are here to help.
We offer classes designed for fathers and open to everyone. You will learn how to:
- Build stronger relationships with your children
- Navigate parenting challenges with confidence
- Connect with other parents and fathers who share similar experiences
Participants in our programs have reported learning practical information, finding meaningful support, and opportunities to connect with other dads facing similar challenges. After completing our programs, participants report:
- Finding support from others who understood their experiences
- Greater confidence navigating child support, custody, and placement systems
- Feeling more comfortable staying connected with their children, even when they were apart
Extension educators offer fatherhood classes online and in-person. Check out our class calendar to find a class open to all parents and caregivers in Wisconsin.
