Marvin & Jeanett Charles
Advisors |
Marvin & Jeanett Charles
are the Co-Founders of D.A.D.S. (Divine Alternatives for Dads Services),
Marvin and Jeanett reach out to men who are disconnected from their own
children. At every opportunity, Marvin and Jeanett speak to
individuals and groups-judges, tribal elders, social workers, community
members-about the need for each father to take responsibility for his
actions, to focus on the child's needs, and to use his faith in order to
find a path home to the hurting child. These dads do not always end up
living in the child's home or marrying the child's mother, but they do
discover the gift of fathering.
Since 2000, D.A.D.S has
served over 1500 fathers from all walks of life. While these are
mainly low income fathers, D.A.D.S. embraces any man who wants to make
positive changes in his relationship with his children. Divine
Alternatives for Dads Services is not a fathers' rights group. Its
mission is to empower and connect fathers who may have lost sight of the
rewards that fathering can give.
Marvin and Jeanett's dream
is to give fatherlessness a face. They want to move their community
towards making the necessary changes to help men believe that they can be
the fathers they never had.
