The Brothers United Fatherhood Program (BUFP) will be conducting an evaluation that builds on literature and existing research from the healthy marriage/responsible fatherhood initiatives developed by ACF over the last 10 years, in particular the Supporting Healthy Marriage Program initiative that established a randomized clinical trial. The Brothers United Fatherhood Program will provide important data to expand the area of fatherhood development with the target population. This program is funded through an initiative of the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance (OFA). The study is intended to measure if the identified interventions improve the well-being and relationship between targeted participants and their families. The study intends to focus on the following outcomes: * Demonstrate increased intake \& knowledge of systems that help fathers * Improvement in knowledge of employment \& learn new opportunities for economic mobility * Improvement communication \& empathy skills towards partner * Increase in understanding of healthy marriage \& its value to fathers * Demonstrate an understanding of financial planning * Demonstrate improved conflict resolution, behavior patterns, including those leading to domestic violence * Increase in reports of improved adult \& child relationships * Demonstrate an increase job readiness skills such as employment preparedness \& career direction
