St. Paul – Story Circle: DCYF Fatherhood Series
The Department of Children, Youth, and Family services (DCYF) in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) will host the third of the three Story Circle series. This special project is designed to build a leadership task force comprised of fathers who will gain a deeper understanding of accessible systems and resources, but to also develop a stronger sense of their own empowerment.
The humanities remind each and every one of us that we are not alone here…When we truly look at what we’re asking and who we are, we can see the beauty that is all around us.
– Dr. Shelly C. Lowe, former Chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities
