Community Partner Spotlight:
The Father Effect
The Father’s Group is a Black-led team of fathers who came together to talk honestly about what their kids were experiencing in school and in the wider community and quickly turned those conversations into action. Today they focus on youth education, leadership, community advocacy, and economic empowerment, working to break down barriers, support student success, uplift minority-owned businesses, and build opportunities toward financial independence. At its core the group is about creating space for real conversation, shared support, and real change. Community members are welcome to join the conversation by attending meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 5:30pm at Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe in downtown Bend.
