On Sunday, we will celebrate dads everywhere. And thanks to Marvin Charles, more men are learning to be the involved, nurturing and loving dads their children need and want.
 
Charles is co-founder of the nonprofit DADS - Divine Alternative for Dads Services. For more than a decade, DADS has provided hope, services and support to dads of all ages who may be coming out of prison, battling substance abuse or living on the streets and wanting to reconnect with their children.

Charles talks more about the DADS program and what happened in his life that led him to create DADS. Current DADS client Dewayne Sullivan joins Charles and both share how the program has impacted their lives.

This is great! Children need their fathers and being a father is the most important job a real man has.
