Strong Fathers, Strong Communities
A host of systemic challenges confront young fathers. The Dovetail Project is dedicated to providing young fathers – ages 17 to 24 – with the skills and resources they need to be supportive fathers and leaders in their communities. Dovetail’s 12-week program helps young fathers who are not connected in work or school to gain a better understanding of the responsibilities of fatherhood and their importance in the lives of their children, while strengthening the community in the process.
Our investment
At a nascent stage of Dovetail’s development, Chicago Beyond invested $1 million in The Dovetail Project, allowing them to expand their program and assess its effectiveness. As a result of our partnership, Dovetail served hundreds of young fathers, doubling their reach and paving the way for their organization’s national recognition.
