DFFC Testimonials

  • Larry M. Morris - Former Wilmington NAACP President
    Longtime Community Leader
    Mentor
    I am totally thrilled to be able to speak on behalf of the DFFC’s Delaware Devoted Dads Summit. There are many social ills tormenting our society today and many of them can be drawn back to the absence of a father or male role model present in the lives of so many children. For several years now I have attended the Devoted Dads Summit and have been energized by the messages brought by the keynote speakers as well as the many workshops and leaders available to those in attendance. We truly need more efforts like the DFFC.
  • Kevin Richardson - Guiding Light Consulting, LLC - Founder
    Having participated in the early stages of the DFFC efforts, I can say the model of coalition building has profoundly positioned this grassroots organization to drive advocacy and collaboration within and beyond the State of Delaware. I believe unequivocally the DFFC has heightened the effectiveness of the community's voice, enhanced legitimacy of its existence and enabled greater accessibility to resources that otherwise might have been unreachable to its constituents."
  • Cassandra Codes-Johnson, MPA - Director Community Health, Delaware Division of Public Health
    The Delaware Fatherhood and Families Coalition is a great asset to the State of Delaware. This coalition seeks to raise awareness about the important role that fathers play in our communities. The Coalition seeks to be a resource to the community to provide education, spark dialogue, and facilitate trainings that educate community members, policy makers and practitioners around barriers and opportunities for fathers. From town hall meetings, to the Ambassador trainings, to the Barbershop Community Dialogues, the DFFC is spreading the message that active fathers are a key component for creating safe, healthy, thriving families and communities.
