Fathers in Tech Program: The Hero's Journey.
The Fathers in Tech Program at CYEP is designed to enhance dad involvement and address the importance of fathers and families in children's lives. Through a unique blend of social interventions and workforce skills development sessions, we empower participants to enhance their interactions with their children and loved ones.
Our center provides a supportive environment for dads, where they can address child support concerns and receive encouragement to enter the program. By participating in our sessions, fathers can enhance their skills and unlock their inner strength, ultimately leading to economic growth and family empowerment.
At CYEP we understand the importance of fatherhood initiatives in today's society. That's why we offer a comprehensive program tailored to help fathers succeed. As an organization committed to leveling the playing field for underserved fathers, we provide access to resources that have traditionally been unavailable. We believe that every father deserves the opportunity to enhance their involvement and become a positive influence in their children's lives.

Fathers Are Important: Our Way of Empowering Families

Experience has proven that when dads have a strong relationship with their child, the impact on that child’s life is undeniable. Capital Youth Empowerment Programs (CYEP) is committed to providing fathers with the power they need to not only be present but also make a difference.
Through the Fathers in Tech Program, CYEP offers support services to males to help them become responsible, nurturing, and informed fathers who are positively engaged in their child’s life. We understand the importance of dad involvement and strive to encourage fathers to take an active role in their children’s lives.
We also recognize that having the resources to provide for your family is essential to a father’s confidence. Fathers In Tech prepares males with education, workforce development, technical, and leadership skills to enter into the knowledge/skill economy and secure a rewarding career that changes the trajectory of their life and their family’s foundation.
Our organization’s goal is to build the skills of disenfranchised fathers by unlocking their value, equipping them with resources to provide financially, and connecting them to industries in order to thrive and increase family empowerment.
