The Mecklenburg County’s Child Support Services Empowering Fathers Program provides workforce development solutions and specialized curriculums delivered through workshops that help empower fathers with parenting and healthy relationship skills. The Program is designed to build trust between noncustodial fathers and the child support program, and in-turn, support fathers in meeting child support obligations. Programming is delivered both in-person and using virtual platforms. The Empowering Fathers Program also hosts Child Support Orientations, Career Fairs, and provides guidance and expertise to both fathers and other professionals, on local, state and national levels, through web-talks and social media campaigns.
