In June 2000, fathers in the Rochester, NY community decided to come together to form a program that uniquely addressed issues facing fathers and their families: a program that was located in the inner city but easily accessible to the entire community. Acting on the premise that children in all communities need the support, time, love and positive persuation of both parents, the Rochester Fatherhood Resource Initiative, Inc. was born. RFRI is an organization that provides services to fathers from all socio-economic, racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds characterized as a hard to reach, hard to serve, male population, while promoting healthy behaviors and removing barriers to parenting.
