The Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative hosts 11th Annual Fatherhood Summit On October 7 and October 8, 2016 Mayor Tom Barrett presented The Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiatives' "11th Annual Fatherhood Summit." The two-day event was held at Greater New Birth Church, 8237 W. Silver Spring Drive. This year's theme was "Planting Seeds to Grow Stronger Fathers and Families," and reflected the efforts of the Fatherhood Initiative to strengthen families in our great city by supporting the men in our community with services, and outreach to strengthen them to become better fathers. Among the ways the Fatherhood Initiative offers support is through self-improvement workshops, employment opportunities in and around the city, driver's license recovery assessments, child support case reviews, job training opportunities, education services (GED, HSED, trades, CDL, etc.), health information and screenings, expungement supportive services, and family court services (bankruptcies, child placement, etc.). The day also featured a special tribute to longtime fatherhood advocate and radio personality the late Eric Von. Pictured at the event (from left) are Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative co-director Dennis C. Walton, and Milwaukee Municipal court judge and keynote speaker Derek Mosley.
