Connecting Fathers to Opportunity

Posted August 28, 2026

Families Matter AFIRM was pleased to participate in the Christopher Pugh Center’s Orientation and Enrollment Night on July 18. AFIRM team member Eric Thompson was invited to speak with young men about the program’s resources and opportunities designed to support fatherhood, career development, and personal growth. As a result of the outreach, Eric successfully connected seven new participants to the AFIRM program. We appreciate the Christopher Pugh Center for continuing to provide AFIRM with opportunities to engage with young men and connect them with resources that can support their families and futures.
