Fatherhood Coalition of Tarrant County
The Fatherhood Coalition of Tarrant County is a collaborative partnership consisting of over thirty organizations committed to promoting responsible fatherhood in Tarrant County.
The Coalition began as the Fatherhood Initiative organized in 2000 by Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County. Later that year, it joined forces with a community-based effort under the leadership of Charles Scoma, then mayor of North Richland Hills, to form the Fatherhood Coalition of Tarrant County.
For meeting information, list of officers, member organizations, activities and other resources, please visit the Fatherhood Coalition website.
New and Improved Dad’s Resource Guide!
Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and the Fatherhood Coalition of Tarrant County partnered to create a new and improved Dad’s Resource Guide. The Dad’s Resource Guide is a comprehensive list of human resources and services available to the residents of Tarrant County and surrounding areas. Previously, the Dad’s Resource Guide was distributed as a pocket sized booklet that Tarrant County Residents could refer to anytime they were in need of services. Now, individuals can access this great guide from any computer or mobile device! As always, we will continue to provide printed versions of the booklet for individuals who do not have reliable access to a computer or the internet.

It is a collaborative initiative for adults interested in careers in the foodservice industry. The 16-week program provides training and on-the-job learning in the fundamentals of food preparation.
The program offers five courses per year and accepts up to 16 apprentices per course. Upon completion, apprentices are equipped for employment in fast-casual restaurants, food manufacturing, and institutional foodservice operations, such as hospitals, hotels, and corporate cafeterias.
Inter Agency Workforce Group
The Inter-Agency Workforce Group is the catalyst that brings workforce professionals together from the private and public sectors to network and offer workforce development programs that bring knowledge and enrichment to its members.
This group is hosted by Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and meeting space is graciously donated by Goodwill Industries of Fort Worth (Currently meetings are being held virtually). The Inter-Agency Workforce Group meets ten times during the year and has a longstanding reputation in the community as a source of vital information for businesses to share with their employees, and for the partnering organizations to more effectively serve their clients through community cooperation.
