Mission Statement
FAST seeks to aid in the creation of these bonds by supporting fathers to be present, positive, and active, positioning our youth to become active and able participants in community life as they reach adulthood.
Our primary focus is to empower fathers to develop their sons. This sustains families and strengthens our communities.
About
Our work is centered on prevention vs intervention. We are a youth development organization that focuses on family development, providing guidance, support, and nurture to families, specifically those of color. We promote lifestyle changes that support improved educational outcomes, improved health, and wellness. Furthermore, participants make better decisions while also inspiring community advocacy and engagement from youth and parents alike.
Studies show that children who enjoy the support of an active father figure display better decision-making skills, are more likely to achieve academically and do better in the workplace as adults—all of which contribute to the lowered risk of involvement in the criminal justice system.
