The Center for Urban Families work with fathers pre-dates the organization. This work was rooted in the founder’s own personal story. He envisioned a community where children would have access to both parents. This passion fuels the organization nationally recognized Responsible Fatherhood program!

![Page 5: Center for Urban Families “Including Fathers in the Work We Do with Families” CFUF Presenters: James Worthy, Director of Responsible Fatherhood](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc55503460f94ab86e4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Founded in 1998 Central to CFUF’s mission is the belief that
men—the most disconnected and underserved citizens in urban communities—who connect with women, their children, and the workplace are key to the restoration of stability and optimism.
We have provided services for over 15,000 individuals, the majority of whom are employed, productive citizens passing their skills on to the next generation.
We have the model, the expertise, the commitment, the passion, and the ability to change the lives of thousands in Baltimore.
Our work falls into both the direct service and policy advocacy arenas.

Striving to create self sufficient ‐men, women, and families by connecting fathers to their children;
Creating opportunities for economic and financial security through work; and,
Supporting the strengthening of Baltimore families.
