Maryland Fatherhood Initiatives The Young Fathers-Responsible Fathers Program The Young Fathers-Responsible Fathers programs work with young, unwed fathers who are likely to become or are currently involved with the State’s service support system. This program’s goal is to provide educational and employment opportunities and emotional support, thus enabling fathers to play a productive role in their children’s lives. The Young Fathers-Responsible Fathers Program, which began in 1992, operates through six local Departments of Social Services and serves approximately 700 fathers each year.
