Changing the Lives of Children, One Father at a Time!
A community where children strive under the leadership of parents where fathers play an active role. Fathers are valued and provided equal opportunity to engage with children. 2NOT1 is a trusted space by fathers and the community. A trusted space that provides mental health services, leadership development training, and continued resource for the child welfare system.
Who We Are
2NOT1 is a recognized 501-c3 organization providing services that support fathers in their parenting efforts. Our Mission “to promote the safety and well-being of children by implementing strategies to keep fathers involved and families together,” guides the work we do.
LEARN MOREWhat We Do
We help create father-friendly communities so fathers have access to resources that strengthen their ability to parent, help fathers navigate the child welfare system to reunite families, and enhance the leadership capacity of fathers! This is our effort to build a village and strong community.
LEARN MORE
Yes! I want to invest in the development of fathers who become stronger parents for their children and families, the programming for youth that often reside in homes absent of their fathers, and advocacy that creates a father-friendly community and supports the reunification of fathers and families.

Welcome to 2NOT1.
The following is a powerful message from a father.
Parenting Class and Personal Development
Our parenting class doubles as a leadership training. We believe we can’t talk a father into being a parent but we can increase their leadership capacity that develops their parenting skills.
