The Bethany Hope Centre mission is to support, equip and empower adults, youth and children in the Ottawa Region by building services, partnerships and faith-based community spirit with a primary focus on young parents and their children.

Often, services like ours exclude young fathers from the picture or consider them only as a sideline. We believe that young fathers want to be an important part of their children's lives and that their healthy involvement is an important contributor to the overall well-being of their child.

At Bethany Hope Centre, fathers are welcome to use almost all of the supports and services that we provide. We also try to provide some fathering-specific programs which acknowledge that there are unique elements to the fathering role that must be acknowledged and supported.
