NRFC Virtual Collaborative Community

The NRFC Virtual Collaborative Community (VCC) offers human service providers a place to learn more about engaging fathers and strengthening fatherhood-focused services. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) practitioners can connect with others in the field, explore resources, participate in discussions and groups, and learn from webinars and shared experiences.

For TANF programs looking to strengthen father engagement, the VCC can provide practical ideas for reaching fathers, building stronger relationships with them, and creating services that recognize fathers as an important part of their children’s and families’ well-being. It can also help TANF practitioners learn from organizations already focusing on fatherhood and identify approaches they could adapt to their own programs. Whether your program is developing a fatherhood initiative or looking for ways to make existing services more inclusive of fathers, the VCC provides opportunities to learn from the fatherhood field and bring those ideas back to practice.
