2NOT1 Fatherhood & Families, Inc.

Over the years since 2NOT1 has been founded fathers have shared how they've learned, mentored, and effectively co-parent with the mother of their child. 

Fathers are engaged, educated, and empowered by getting the tools and training they need to be more engaged and involved in the life of their child.

The best way to explain the vision of Founder Shawn Gardner is hoping to accomplish came from his then 6 year old child, who when hearing the 2NOT1 Advisory Chair tell her story of growing up without a dad was in disbelief. She yelled "You don't have a father!" She couldn't fathom not having a father in her life.

2NOT1 envisions a day when children only know a life where both parents exist and work together to raise them, love them, and give them all the things required for a healthy development into adult hood.
