21st Century Dads Foundation created the Special Fathers Network, a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. To date we have recruited more than 500 SFN Mentor Fathers, who on average have more than 10 years of experience raising a child or children with special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers are matched with SFN Mentee Fathers, who have a newborn with special needs or a child who has a recent diagnosis.
The young fathers, AKA SFN Mentee Fathers, are the primary beneficiaries of the work we do.
To develop a better understanding of the issues young families face and to forge relationships with the fathers of more recently diagnosed children, 21CD has created the SFN Early Intervention Parent Survey. As a thank you for completing the survey, 21CD will send a complimentary Great Dad Coin to each survey participant.
We are seeking two SFN Early Intervention Survey Managers to lead this program, to collect and process hundreds, and hopefully thousands, of survey responses from both young dads and moms with early intervention age children.

Description
ABOUT THE 21ST CENTURY DADS FOUNDATION
21CDF is a 501c3 created to address the issue of father absence, one of the root causes of what ails society.
THE ISSUE: Father Absence
There are approximately 24 million kids growing up across America without their dads. Children from father-absent homes are more likely to; drop out of school, abuse drugs and alcohol, get involved with crime and become incarcerated, become teen parents, have psychological problems and commit suicide.
There are a number of factors contributing to father absence, including, but not limited to:
- Out-of-Wedlock Births, which have increased from 11% in 1970 to 41% today
- Divorce, which strikes an estimated 1:2 marriages,
- Lack of Paternity Establishment, which is greater than 50% in some communities,
- Incarceration, which is more acute in certain populations,
- Abandonment, which can be both physical and emotional
- Lack of Employment, which results in a lack of supporting basic needs
- Death, occurs prematurely too often among low income families.
