Fathers in Tech Program: The Heroes Journey.
The Fathers in Tech Program takes fathers on a transformative journey that increases the quality of each father’s interactions with his children and loved ones, while also providing economic growth and family empowerment opportunities.
Using a unique approach of social interventions combined with workforce skills development, CYEP is able to harness every father's potential and unlock the inner strength needed to not only compete but succeed in today’s society.
We are a powerful engine of hope set on “leveling the playing field” for underserved fathers by providing them with access and resources that have traditionally not been available to them.

Our fatherhood program
From workshops on self-care and positive parenting to teaching fathers financial literacy and interpersonal skills, CYEP’s fatherhood program is positioned to be a force that uses education to promote change.
From one-on-one career coaching to technical skills training, CYEP is in the business of equipping fathers with the skills to generate more financial provisions for their homes, thus boosting family empowerment within their communities.
From paid apprenticeships to computer-based jobs, CYEP is a unifying force for families and communities by leveraging industry partners to connect fathers to employment opportunities.
Fathers Are Important.

Experience has proven that when fathers have a strong relationship with their child, the impact on that child’s life is undeniable. CYEP is committed to providing fathers with the power they need to not only be present but to also make a difference.
Through the Fathers in Tech Program, CYEP offers support services to males to help them become responsible, nurturing and informed fathers who are positively engaged in their child’s life.
We also understand that having the resources to provide for your family is essential to a father’s confidence. Fathers In Tech also prepares males with education, workforce development, technical and leadership skills to enter into the knowledge/skill economy and secure a rewarding career that changes the trajectory of their life and their family’s foundation.
Our goal is to build the skills of disenfranchised fathers by unlocking their value, equipping them with resources to provide financially and connecting them to industries in order to thrive and increase family empowerment.
