Teen Dad Project – Father & Child Trust

This project started in 2000 with a survey of teenage fathers to determine their support needs. The survey was funded by The Hague based Bernard van Leer Foundation, because no money could be found in New Zealand.

From there the Trust has been involved in high intensive long-term support for some young men as well as trying to raise the profile of teenage fathers with individual service providers. More than any other group of fathers they are invisible in the public eye.
