FATHER-LED • FAMILY-CENTERED • COMMUNITY-GROUNDED
About Father On The Move
Building connection, practical support, and fair opportunities for fathers and families across Boston and Massachusetts.
Lived experience, community leadership, and practical advocacy are at the center of Father On The Move.
Our Story
Father On The Move grew from the experiences of fathers navigating multiple pressures at once: parenting, family relationships, housing, employment, financial stability, wellness, and public systems. These challenges rarely appear one at a time. The organization was founded to connect fathers with practical information, peer community, and organizations willing to listen and work together.
The movement is built around a simple principle: fathers should be meaningfully included in efforts to strengthen their children, their families, and their communities. That includes listening to lived experiences while checking policy questions against reliable information.
Our Mission
To help fathers remain present, stable, healthy, and meaningfully involved in their children’s lives through education, peer and community support, resource navigation, partnerships, and evidence-informed advocacy.
Our Vision
Communities where children and families benefit from safe, responsible, engaged fatherhood and where fathers can find accessible support, fair processes, and opportunities to contribute.
Meet the Founder: Anthony Henderson
Anthony Henderson founded Father On The Move as a father, community advocate, facilitator, and organizer. His approach connects direct conversations with fathers to practical programs, education, partnerships, and public-policy questions.
His community involvement includes fatherhood education and facilitation, family engagement, listening sessions, and speaking on father-centered community building. Rather than treating fatherhood as one isolated issue, he focuses on the connections between family relationships, health, stability, civic participation, and public systems.
In 2026, Father On The Move participated in community leadership conversations, including the Vital Village National Community Leadership Summit, and convened father-centered listening and program activities in partnership with local organizations.
