Fathers Matter New Orleans

Our Mission
Fathers Matter New Orleans engages, equips, and empowers fathers — in New Orleans and across Louisiana — to be present, capable, and celebrated in the lives of their children

Our Purpose
We exist because engaged fatherhood is a ripple: when a man grows, his family strengthens, and his community transforms. That is our framework — Man. Family. Community. Operating at the intersection of public health, social justice, and family policy, FM NOLA promotes asset based narratives about Black fatherhood, removes systemic barriers, and creates father-led spaces where men do the work of becoming the fathers they believe their children need.
