Lassen County Fatherhood Partnership hosts Fatherhood Summit June 13

The Lassen County Fatherhood Partnership is excited to invite fathers, grandfathers, mentors, coaches and father figures to the 2026 Lassen County Fatherhood Summit, a day dedicated to celebrating the important role men play in the lives of children and families.

This year’s summit, themed “Voices of Fatherhood: Real Stories, Real Challenges, Real Impact,” will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 13 at Diamond View School in Susanville. The event is designed to provide encouragement, practical tools, and meaningful connections for men who are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of young people.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from local fathers and community leaders, including Russell Bates, Mitch Lively, Orlando Shannon and Barney McKee, as they share personal experiences, lessons learned and the impact fatherhood has had on their lives. The day will also feature engaging workshops, demonstrations, interactive activities, food, prizes, and opportunities to connect with other dads and mentors from across Lassen County.

Whether you are a new father, a seasoned parent, a grandfather, coach, uncle or community mentor, the Fatherhood Summit offers valuable resources and support to help strengthen families and build stronger communities. The event focuses on key values such as leadership, mentorship, respect, community, and legacy — reminding participants that the influence of a caring adult can last a lifetime.
