CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| The Family Foundation Fund's mission is to address the absence of fathers in the home. This issue has quickly become one of the most pressing problems in our society and the core contributor to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). Consider the following statistics:* Youth violence is common. Nearly 1 in 5 high school students report being bullied on school property in the last year, and about 1 in 7 were electronically bullied (texting, Instagram, Facebook, or other social media).* Youth violence kills and injures. Homicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24. Each day, about 14 young people are victims of homicide and about 1,300 are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal assault-related injuries.* Youth violence is costly. Youth homicides and nonfatal physical assault-related injuries result in more than $21 billion annually in combined medical and lost productivity costs alone. This does not include costs associated with the criminal justice system, psychological and social consequences for victims, perpetrators and their families, or costs incurred by communities.An epidemic that was once singularly concentrated in the African- American community has now become prevalent throughout society. Men simply do not know or understand a father's responsibilities. Enter The Family Foundation Fund ("FFF"), an organization that is seeking to "stand in the gap" for as many fatherless boys as possible, from all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.The FFF provides a safe, structured environment for young men between the ages of 10-18. We offer life-changing programs and services to young men across middle Tennessee. Lasting change takes collaboration, consistent execution and intrepid measures. At The Family Foundation Fund we're engaging community partners, cultivating experiences and investing in thought leaders to restore fatherhood.Communities should be places of health and wellness, not anguish and strife. Together, we can create a generation of fathers that love deeply, fear and know God, and lead healthy and meaningful lives contributing to the human experience through the institution of health families. |
