Lunch Break With The Village

Helping Fathers Become Dads

June 16, 2021

We looked at the important roles that fathers play in the lives of their children and why it is important for fathers to stay involved in every aspect of their child’s life. We learned how The Village helps strengthen father-child bonds and how Village client Devon Kempson journeyed from receiving help from The Village’s Fatherhood Engagement Services to now mentoring other dads.

Our guest Patterson “Don” Crocker, Village Fatherhood Engagement Services Supervisor, was joined by Devon Kempson, Village client, father and mentor.
