What is Squires?
Squires is a direct response to the needs of the teen father. While navigating fatherhood at any age is a challenge, when you add adolescence it only compounds the situation. We are seen as a leader in providing the friendship and support a young male needs as he engages fatherhood. Our Mission: Squires is dedicated to empowering, encouraging, and supporting teen dads to provide long term emotional, physical, and financial support for their child. Our goal is to change the culture of expecting fathers to run away from responsibility. Who is behind Squires? Shanne Sowards earned most of his education from his own life experience. He is seen as a leader in his community when it comes to investing in fathers and youth. He is the founder and Program Director of Squires, a nonprofit mentoring program for teen fathers. Shanne is also the Lead Facilitator and Early Childhood Fathering Project Specialist at Impact NW.
