"Let's Get To Zero."
A working center where fathers earn real income — directed immediately toward reducing what they owe. Not a class. Not a seminar. A solution.
— STEP BY STEP —
1
QUALIFICATION & CERTIFICATION
To enter the center, participants must have existing child support arrears and complete three required certifications: Solid Foundation — covering self-development, parenting skills, and financial literacy — along with the Apparel Manufacturing Application and Impulsive Merchandising Application. This ensures every participant is prepared, committed, and ready to work.
2
MANUFACTURING TRAINING
Once qualified, participants are brought to the center — with housing and transportation provided throughout the contract period. They receive hands-on training in apparel manufacturing, screen printing, laser engraving, embroidery, and merchandising operations under professional supervision. These are marketable, in-demand trade skills that translate directly to sustainable employment after the program.
3
CONTRACT FULFILLMENT & ARREARS REDUCTION
Participants fulfill manufacturing contracts at the center and earn income in real time. That income is directed immediately and transparently to their child support accounts — reducing arrears dollar by dollar with full tracking and accountability.
FIRST INCOME STREAM
Contract Sources
The CSRC secures manufacturing contracts from a diverse, high-volume portfolio of clients — ensuring a consistent pipeline of work and income for every participant.
Corporations
Major Sports Organizations
National Opportunity League
Local Municipalities
State Agencies
Federal Government
SECOND INCOME STREAM
Community Pop Up Sales Network
In addition to fulfilling manufacturing contracts at the center, participants earn income as certified Impulsive Merchandising Partners — taking the products they produce directly into the community through a structured Pop Up Sales Network. Fathers don’t just make the merchandise; they sell it. Every sale generates additional income directed immediately to their child support accounts.
The Pop Up Sales Network deploys participants at community events, markets, sporting events, and high-traffic retail locations — turning the CSRC’s production output into a live sales force and providing participants with real entrepreneurial experience alongside their manufacturing skills.
MAKE IT
Products manufactured on-site — screen printed, embroidered, laser engraved, and finished by participants.
SELL IT
Certified Impulsive Merchandising Partners sell directly to the public through Pop Up events across the community.
PAY IT
Sales revenue is applied directly to child support arrears — a second stream accelerating the path to zero balance.
THIRD INCOME STREAM
The Monthly Bonanza
Every month, the CSRC releases a featured product available exclusively through the Monthly Bonanza — a community-wide sales campaign unlike anything in the child support system. What makes it extraordinary is who runs it: both parents.
Each case is assigned a unique case number used to track every sale. The custodial parent and the non-custodial parent each promote the same case number — to their children, their families, their friends, their networks. They don’t have to be in the same room. They don’t even have to speak. But for the first time, they are working toward the same goal: getting the arrears to zero.
At the end of each month, the top-performing case numbers by total sales volume receive a percentage of the revenue generated that month applied directly toward arrears on that case. The more a family promotes, the faster the balance falls.
“You may not be speaking. But you are both telling your son’s coach, your mother, your neighbor — share this link, use this number. That is co-parenting. That is a family working together even when it’s hard.”
Let’s Get To Zero.
THE PRODUCT
A new CSRC-manufactured product is featured each month — produced at the center by participants and made available for community-wide purchase.
THE CASE NUMBER
Every sale is tied to a case number. Both parents promote the same number to their children, families, and friends — building a team around a common goal.
THE COMPETITION
Top-performing case numbers by monthly sales volume earn a percentage of revenue applied directly to arrears — rewarding families who mobilize their network the most.
THE RESULT
Without a single mediated conversation, both parents are united in a shared economic mission — reducing arrears, rebuilding trust, and modeling teamwork for their children.

EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENT
Program graduates exit with verified trade certifications, a documented employment history, and the financial literacy to sustain their obligations long-term. The CSRC does not just reduce arrears — it produces fathers who are equipped to never fall behind again.
— WHY THIS MATTERS —
The Federal Government Spends $6.4 Billion a Year on This Problem — and the Arrears Keep Growing.
Every year, the United States spends $6.4 billion on child support enforcement — license suspensions, wage garnishments, incarceration, court proceedings. Despite that investment, the national arrears balance has grown to over $113 billion and climbing. The system is not fixing the problem. It is funding it.
When you do the math, the current enforcement model costs approximately $1.16 for every dollar of arrears it collects — and arrears are still increasing year over year. The CSRC does it for six-tenths of a cent. That is not a modest improvement. That is a fundamental reimagining of how this problem gets solved.

— Strategic Partnership —
Finding the Fathers Nobody Else Can Find.
In partnership with Becoming the Best Dad and licensed private investigators, the CSRC locates non-custodial parents who have fallen off the grid — and reaches them with an invitation, not a summons.
