Class members may be a variety of ages, teens to seniors. Each group of 8-12 people attends 4 two-hour classes covering 5 major areas: prenatal care, safe sleep, breastfeeding, domestic violence, and the benefits of father/male involvement. Graduates agree to share the information in the community, as well as recurit new members to attend the class series. An end of the year event both re-engages participants and recognizes community contributions of the graduates.
