About Program Inc.
Though many factors contribute, children from fatherless homes are often put at a disadvantage early in life, making their future difficult to navigate.
The Program Inc. is a community where fatherless young men have the opportunity to turn their lives around mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically growing into economically contributing and thriving members of society who are breaking the cycles of fatherlessness and producing healthier communities.
