Fathering Like a Voss: Nathan, Parent Engagement Coordinator, KCSL

  • Summary

  • From a young age, Nathan Voss recalls struggling in school. Eventually, he was prescribed medication to help him focus while learning. It did not take long for Nathan to realize his medication was a hot commodity he could trade for other medication, such as opiates, to feed his addiction. While his passion was in music, he spiraled deeper in his addiction as a musician in a band where the fast lifestyle was not conducive to maintaining sobriety. For years, his life went on in a pattern bouncing between active addiction and substance use disorder treatment. Nathan was not the father he wanted to be for his daughter, and this eventually contributed to his first child in state custody. After getting out of prison, he was determined to regain and maintain his sobriety. In 2021, with a new 2-year-old daughter, he opened the first father/child Oxford House in Topeka, Abba House. In 2022, he opened his 2nd Oxford House for fathers with children. Today, his days are filled with joy from both daughters in his life! He parents his youngest daughter in the Oxford House they both call home. Recently, Nathan was hired as a Parent Engagement Coordinator for Kansas Children's Service League. We wish you and your girls nothing but the best.
