The Division of Extension has published a new needs assessment describing how fathers define successful fatherhood and what Wisconsin fathers need most.

Given that fathers are systematically underserved in these areas, we decided to intentionally assess what fathers in Wisconsin need and where the gaps are in current services before creating new programming.
