Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide the means for fathers to become great dads, the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families (Center) works with community-based fatherhood programs across the state of South Carolina providing ongoing leadership, coordination, technical assistance, training, evaluation, and assistance with resource development.
To support the mission and ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St Augustine by helping to alleviate the problem of father absence within the state of South Carolina.
The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families (Center) was established in 2002 as a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System (SCHS). The Fatherhood initiative of the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina (Foundation) led to the establishment of six fatherhood organizations. The Center, through a partnership with the Foundation and the South Carolina Department of Social Services, provides financial support for these programs. The community-based programs provide services to low-income fathers around responsible fatherhood, job readiness, and employment, parenting, co-parenting, healthy relationships, and additional services on a case by case basis. The Center has served more than 20,126 fathers and families and has impacted the lives of countless children.
The Jobs Not Jail program sponsored through state appropriation since 2012 has been very successful. This program offers fathers who are behind in child support payments an alternative to incarceration. Through employment training these fathers can obtain work at a living wage which in turn enables them to support their children. In 2019 this program gave 720 men the opportunity to gain employment and meet their child support obligations rather than go to jail. This resulted in a savings to taxpayers of $7.26M
The Health Access Initiative provides health screenings and health education for fathers, thus providing fathers a better way to provide for their children by becoming healthier and dealing with potential health issues at an early stage. With improved health, fathers will maintain better work records which will enable them to retain employment and support their children. With the ability to support their children these fathers can become an integral part of their children's lives.
