Local Fatherhood Initiatives Aim to Strengthen Families | http://www.nlc.org: "NYC Dads-The Mayor’s Fatherhood Initiative

Last week, New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg hosted a reception celebrating the first year of NYC Dads‐The Mayor’s Fatherhood Initiative. Joined by New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, the mayor honored 10 outstanding fathers who have overcome extraordinary challenges to become positive parental influences.

In the days leading up to Father’s Day 2010, Mayor Bloomberg launched NYC Dads-The Mayor’s Fatherhood Initiative, directing more than a dozen city agencies to conduct an extensive review of their programs, policies and frontline practices to ensure that fathers were not being unintentionally excluded from or missing opportunities to engage in their children’s lives."
