Programs & Outreach
Using Programs to Touch Lives
We help create Father friendly communities, reunite families, and enhance the leadership capacity of fathers!
As mentioned in the Mission Statement 2NOT1 utilizes various strategies to do the work. The strategies include programs, outreach efforts, fundraising, and evaluations and assessments.
High Road Leadership Development
High Road Leadership Development is an eight-week training geared for parents and individuals. This training does not teach fathers and parents how to parent. This training increases, the leadership capacity of fathers and parents. In doing so all areas of a participant’s live improve from the way their rear their children, to how they co-parent, and how they interact with co-workers or deal with people in their social circle.
Parent Advocates
Parent Advocates are parents who have faced challenges as parent. Many of the parents navigated the child welfare system and were able to have their children returned to their custody. It is because of this experience these parents are the best resource for parents who are currently involved with the child welfare system.
Rites of Passage
Rites of Passage is a program for young black boys between 4th & 8th grades. These boys often come from single-parent homes headed by mothers. The boys participate in weeks of discussion, and trips, and connected with mentors.

Youth Development is something big for 2NOT1. When COVID happened 2NOT1 supported the school district by providing Non-traditional Instruction to children so they wouldn’t fall behind in the classroom.
