The Paternal Involvement Demonstration project (PIDP) was a public-private partnership initiative undertaken to demonstrate the value of providing job training, job placement and paternal involvement services to young non-custodial fathers whose children received support from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Along with the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation's Parents Fair Share (PFS) pilot project, PIDP was, in 1992, unique in its focus on developing parenting and employment-related services for welfare-dependent non-custodial fathers.
