The CUNY Fatherhood Academy (CFA) is a free program designed to promote being a great dad, provide support to unemployed and underemployed dads with their educational goals, and help them get new and better jobs. The program serves dads ages 18-30 through education, employment, and personal development. CFA provides a variety of academic and personal supports, including GED preparation classes, tutoring, individualized counseling, parenting seminars, financial incentives, and job preparation.

CFA offers two program tracks: HSE Prep and College Prep. Additionally, college and career readiness workshops are offered to prepare dads for college enrollment and identify a career path. Attaining a High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma, enrolling in college, increased family time, and getting a new or better job are all essential goals for the dads enrolled in the CFA.
