Fatherhood can be challenging for anyone, especially members of at-risk, violent communities in big cities like Philadelphia. Enter Young Fathers United, a weekly program created by the Institute for the Development of African-American Youth that helps fathers and fathers-to-be navigate issues like money, security, and custody. Brian Seltzer first sat in on a meeting of the North Philly-based Young Fathers United last year ahead of Father’s Day. A year later, Brian went back, and followed up with two of the program's participants, brothers Quinn and Jihad Wesley, to hear how fatherhood has only made the bond between them stronger.
