With fathers, children go farther.

New Destiny launched the Fathers Advance Initiative, known as Go F.A.R. (Fathers Advancing and Reconnecting), a name chosen by the fathers leading and participating in the program. Go F.A.R. is a free, father-led program designed by dads, for fathers and father-figures, fostering connection, growth, and empowerment.

Program Goals

Our mission is to build a strong, supportive community where fathers are encouraged and equipped to be active, engaged, and nurturing parents. We aim to help fathers develop lasting, healthy relationships with their children and partners while embracing their role as protectors and positive role models.

Meet Our Go F.A.R. Coaches

Go F.A.R. is guided by dedicated fathers who serve as peer coaches, providing support, encouragement, and mentorship to fellow dads in the community. These mentors work alongside fathers striving for personal growth in key areas, including:

  • Building and maintaining healthy relationships with their child’s mother
  • Practicing responsible and engaged parenting
  • Achieving economic stability to provide for their families
  • Navigating complex systems such as the courts, social services, employment, healthcare, and substance abuse recovery
  • Reintegrating into society after incarceration and addressing other critical needs

 

Through shared experiences and peer support, our Go F.A.R. Coaches empower fathers to strengthen their roles as caregivers, role models, and active members of their families and communities.
