Fathering in 15™ is the orientation course for the GoodDaddies Fatherhood Initiative. Fathering in 15™ is an interactive, online tool that helps dads build their skills anytime, anywhere. Beginning with a pre-assessment, Fathering in 15™ takes dads through 15 interactive, engaging topics, each in 15 minutes. Examples include: Family History, Being a Man and Dad, Handling Emotions, Talking with Mom, Co-Parenting, Your Health, and many more! The best part is that it’s accessible on any computer or mobile device. After the post-assessment and successful completion, fathers receive a certificate of completion. GoodDaddies curriculums are all research based and proven effective.

A trained GoodDaddies facilitator will schedule a time to assist each participating dad with the development of an individualized Plan of Action, along with further information regarding meeting times and activities to participate in classes offered within the GoodDaddies Fatherhood Curriculum. GoodDaddies utilizes the highest quality, widest range of responsible fatherhood skill-building curricula, programs,  and training resources available. Fathers will receive training and support in the areas of: workforce readiness, rights and responsibilities, visitation, child support, and money management. GoodDaddies partners with and is in agreement with the National Fatherhood Initiative in that "together, we can create a world in which every child has a 24/7 dad." 

As each dad applies the formulated activities within their own personalized Plans of Action, they will be provided with a wide array of opportunities that will assist them in becoming self-reliant. From provided dads with access to resources promoting education, career development, reducing recidivism (felon re-entry), money management, personal development, communication, co-parenting, anger management, self-discipline, and self-worth; dads will most importantly learn how to parent and co-parent to make a visible difference at home and in the community. Partnering with community resources such as, but not limited to: child support/welfare agencies, schools/head starts, substance abuse programs, domestic violence programs, faith-based organizations, judges/mediation centers/attorneys, family support networks, mental health/counseling services, local businesses, job skills/training centers, community colleges, correctional facilities, health clinics, and other non-profit organizations will ensure that dads receive the holistic experience guaranteed to assist them in releasing the "shackles" preventing them from being "good daddies".

Public input, community needs assessments, surveys, and questionnaires have established a gap in services involving fatherhood based programs along the eastern coast of North Carolina. Continuous and ongoing progress tracking will measure individual and program  effectiveness. Strategic planning by qualified staff involving the use of empirical based practices will ensure efficient delivery of services. Achievement of results, participant satisfaction surveys, documentation, and participant feedback will support outcome-based successes.
