Father’s Day is almost always a little bittersweet for me, as it marks the end of a week long fly fishing trip with my Dad to Northern Michigan. I hate for the trip to be over, but there’s no better way to celebrate the holiday than having spent a week with my Dad doing what we love—catching fish. Last year I searched high and low to bring you a post about the National Fatherhood Initiative, and this year it wasn’t easy to find another Dad related non-profit. Lucky for you, I came across the Fatherhood Educational Institute, which is based in Chicago. I know that I couldn’t have done half the things that I’ve done in my life without my Dad (like start this business), so it makes a lot of sense that the Fatherhood Educational Institute aims “to promote positive fatherhood involvement in povery stricken communities.” Great fathers are so important to the success of their children.

Now, the Fatherhood Educational Institute doesn’t have any job listings that I’ve been able to come across, but they do seem big enough to have the potential for some job openings. Some of their undertaking include the Incarcerated Fathers Project and Fatherhood Support Groups. Both are aimed at achieving the Fatherhood Educational Institute’s mission:

a) introduce indigent and incarcerated fathers regarding fatherhood through the use of clinical and related educational tools; and

b) to promote fatherhood in poverty stricken neighborhoods and in the general public through events and any other means of educating the public on the importance of patriarchal involvement in children’s lives.

Like I said, there’s no word on any jobs, but if you think that a job at the Fatherhood Educational Institute might be right up your alley try reaching out to them through the info on their Contact page.
