Strengthening Families
Fathers Fighting 4 Fathers
In some of the most challenging neighborhoods in the city of Baltimore, families struggle to survive the economic realities that abound there. Fathers Fighting 4 Fathers headed by Markus Trent recognizes that by empowering fathers and helping them develop skills that ultimately lead to greater involvement in the family unit will lead to a strong family and deliver the benefits that come with that strength.
When families are strong, whole neighborhoods become strong, creating stability and unity. Diverse programming includes mentoring for first time parents, financial literacy, health and wellness, family breakfasts, college tours and beyond.
