    Initiative Mission

    Wilmington Head Start, Inc. is committed to recognizing


    that male family members and father figures contribute
    significantly to the school readiness goals of children and
    to the well-being of families. WHS constantly involve
    fathers as backers, lifelong supporters, and first educators
    of their children. Our program also supports participating
    dads in increasing their skills, and to achieve their
    personal interests and goals. Male family members and
    father figures have important and unique contributions to
    make to their Head Start communities. Everyone benefits
    when their wish to make a positive difference is
    welcomed.
    Male Involvement refers to bringing fathers/male figures
    into the program to join in diverse activities with their
    children. Male Involvement assists fathers/male figures to
    become more involved in every aspect of their childs life.
    Male involvement is comprised of child rearing and
    involvement but goes a step further. Engaging
    fathers/father figures is committing to a partnership.
    Positive Male involvement is imbedded in positive
    connections, and involvement means being present. The
    engagement process emphasizes generating and
    nourishing ongoing positive relationships. The goal is to
    assist families and to promote childrens education and
    development.
    At Wilmington Head Start, Inc., engaging fathers/father
    figures means that males role models and staff produce a
    partnership to promote to share information about the
    child, to participate in program governance, and more
    importantly, work together to create child and family
    goals that inspire and stimulate success. Our staff is
    required to demonstrate a true interest and regard for the
    distinctive gifts, beliefs, goals, circumstances and
    ambitions of the fathers/father figured that we serve. Our
    program, strives to build trust and accepts everyone. A
    trusting relationship can lead to positive changes for
    families and for your program.
