Does your organization, agency, city or county have an innovative program that promotes healthy and responsible fatherhood and improves the quality of life in the community? 

Now is the time to obtain recognition for your program by applying for an Ohio Fatherhood Center Achievement Award. The Ohio Fatherhood Center is a collaboration of Ohio University, the Ohio Practitioners’ Network for Fathers and Families, and the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood. 

The Ohio Fatherhood Center is sponsoring an Achievement Award program:

• The annual Ohio Fatherhood Center Achievement Award program is a non-competitive awards program that recognizes innovative fatherhood programs and related community services. 
• Each application is judged on its own merits and not against other applications received. 
• Achievement Awards are compiled in a listing of practices and programs with contact information to encourage replication and ongoing discussion to promote healthy and responsible fatherhood practices.

The annual listing will be included on the websites of Ohio University, the Ohio Practitioners' Network for Fathers and Families, and the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood.

Achievement Award honorees will have their names placed on the websites for the networking program and will receive a certificate.
