Fatherhood Initiative

Research 

To document the needs, resources, and opportunities for promoting responsible fatherhood in the Korean/API community, KCCD has been conducting research in partnership with Allen Kim, a researcher for the University of California, Irvine. Allen Kim has conducted extensive research on the topic of Asian American fatherhood. The final report documenting the research which will provide a comprehensive look at the current state of fatherhood and the existing needs and problems Asian American fathers are facing in 2010. This report will provide a more in-depth look at our target population, and help us to develop a fatherhood problem more tailored to the needs of Asian and Pacific Islander fathers in Southern California.

Vision and Goals 

Our vision is to strengthen communities through responsible fatherhood, with a special emphasis on cross-generational and cross-cultural relationships in Korean and Asian American families. Our goal is to accurately assess the needs of the Korean and Asian American community and to develop a comprehensive, accessible, in-language fatherhood program which corresponds and caters to the needs of the community.
