Some quotable’s from Jim’s experience:
“With some dads, it’s a fear of being vulnerable. They know about the program; they’ve seen it work, but they don’t want to be vulnerable. It’s not being weak to come here. It’s actually strengthening you to come here and say, ‘Hey, I want to be a better dad.’”
“That’s the strength that the community needs. It’s the strength that kids need; it’s the strength the dads need. And you get it here.”
“Without a scholarship, I don’t know if I could have done it.”
“Donor generosity has changed my life and others’ lives, and I see it changing lives every single day.”
“If you can give, please do. Because it’s helping the community and it’s helping Spokane as a whole.”
“Kids are the reason we do this; they really are the reason.”

Donors are Vital to Our Mission
Donors play a crucial role in the Spokane Fatherhood Initiative (SpoFI) 24-7 Dad® Fatherhood Classes by enabling the program to deliver evidence-based curriculum that significantly improves fathers' knowledge, attitudes, and skills towards parenting. By contributing, donors help fathers develop and strengthen positive fathering habits, enhance their interactions with children and co-parents, and foster critical protective factors against child abuse and neglect. Additionally, donors' support allows fathers to build problem-solving and relationship-building skills, gain knowledge of child development, learn vital parenting skills like discipline, and receive essential support in times of need, thus reinforcing the importance of their involvement in their children's well-being
“If you can give, please do. Because it’s helping the community and it’s helping Spokane as a whole.”
