EACH PERSON
When they earn their first living wage paycheck, here’s how it potentially impacts each student:
Payment plans are set up (student loans, credit card debt and restitution)
Fathers can resume child support payments
A car can be purchased after one month of paychecks
Savings begin for necessary work tools
A gym membership to begin self care is now affordable

EACH FAMILY
When a second income is added to the home, here’s how it may impact the immediate family:
Quality of life (mental and physical health) improves when the family is together
Additional supports are available for children (child support and extracurricular activities)
Cost of living is attainable (rent, utilities, etc.)
Leisure activities as a family are now affordable (including vacation, educational field trips)
Father can participate in school/extracurricular activities, strengthening the parent-child bond
The family can now escape poverty, affecting mental and physical health, as well as prospects for children’s health
That impact can last for generations:
A father with a job models the importance and dignity of work to his children, which they will then internalize as a core value
A two income household increases the ability to purchase a home and other assets leading to long term/inherited wealth
Knowledge can be passed down including financial literacy, self-care, healthy relationships, mentorship and volunteering, as well as soft skills to succeed in the workplace and in life

EACH COMMUNITY
When a family has two incomes, here’s how it impacts their community:
More money is spent within the community
Children can participate in community events
Disposable income leads to home improvements and beautification
Fathers can be a role model to other kids (and adults) in the community
Fathers can now vote and be represented by their elected officials
Parents involved in the school holds teachers accountable, creating a better learning environment
Tax dollars are saved when men are no longer receiving government assistance

OUR CITY
When a community grows stronger, here’s how it impacts our city:
The region becomes safer when fathers are in the home, as well as working and contributing to their community
The workforce is strengthened, making the region more attractive to outside development
Children have a greater chance of staying out of the juvenile justice system in a two-parent home
