As we celebrate fathers this month, join us for our podcast episode, Fatherhood: Supporting Fathers to be Good Dads. We welcome John Fuqua of Stronger families in Bridgeton, NJ and Jeff Johnson of Father Time in Keansburg, NJ. These men have been at the forefront of two amazing programs that support and empower fathers. Both programs maintain the notion that when men succeed families succeed and when families succeed communities flourish.

John Fuqua is a community leader who has personally committed his time and resources to ensure that Bridgeton, NJ youth have safe, structured opportunities to grow and learn. John provides support to children and families in Bridgeton and serves as the coordinator of the Stronger Families community program. He holds a bachelor’s degree in English from William Paterson University.

Jeff Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social worker with over 35 years of experience in child and family

therapy settings. Jeff and several community dads had a vision for a support group/community organization with a focus on fatherhood. With the assistance of Parents Anonymous NJ- ‘Father Time’ was established in 2005, and through the generous support of the Pascale Sykes foundation- has become a vital fixture in the Bayshore community. When not at work, Jeff can be found in, around, or on top of the local Jersey Shore waterways-on a small, restored 1972 Boston Whaler.
