VOLUNTEER...

Did you know that the Illinois Fatherhood Initiative is 100% volunteer-based? This means that every service and program at IFI happens because of our volunteers. We are so proud of their dedication. And, as a 501(c)(3) organization, all proceeds go directly to our programs and services that connect fathers in the lives of their children.

Participate in IFI Programs!
