The Minnesota Fathers and Families Network seeks to demonstrate that efforts to engage men as fathers will ultimately create benefits for children, women and families as a whole.  At our core, MFFN seeks to promote child-wellbeing, eliminate poverty, and strengthen families. We achieve our mission by focusing on the following three goals:

​

• Enhance the quality of practice, programs, organizations, and systems in areas of father-friendliness, gender responsiveness and father inclusiveness

• Identify and promote policy changes that strengthen fathers and families

• Maintain and further develop a statewide organization through networking, resource sharing, professional development and outreach.
