June 2021 Adapted from Y-USA
Inspired by a Mother’s Day sermon over 100 years ago, Sonora Louis Smart Dodd wondered why there was no similar holiday for fathers. One of six children, Dodd was raised by a single father and she felt that he and others deserved to be honored. After securing support from ministers in Spokane, WA, her idea came to fruition with the first Father's Day celebration at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. Many years passed before it became a national holiday, but today we use the day to honor the fathers and father figures in our lives.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 18 million children live without a biological, step, or adoptive father at home. Societal factors such as unemployment, work-life balance or a lack of resources can affect a father’s ability to seek support in strengthening his parenting skills and becoming more engaged in the lives of his children. As a leading non-profit in fostering positive youth development, the Y is dedicated to providing both resources and opportunities for fathers to further involve themselves in the well-being and development of their children.
Studies show that children with close relationships with their fathers and other adult male role models have more self-confidence and exhibit less depression, perform better academically, and engage in significantly less drug and alcohol use.
On Sunday, June 20, as the nation celebrates fatherhood, we recognize how important it is for children to grow up with adults who are committed, responsible, and involved. Dads need support to be the best parents and caregivers they can be and Father’s Day helps remind us of that. Thank you to all the different dads who help keep their families and community healthy and strong!
Y Adventure Guides brings fathers and their children closer together! Y Guides is a volunteer program run by dads who are dedicated to creating lasting bonds between fathers and daughters and fathers and sons.
