Just a bit of word-order revision, and some hyphens:

In this project, I conducted face-to-face interviews with six fathers recruited, via snowball sampling, through friends and family.

 

'Through friends and family' may be redundant of 'snowball sampling'. 

In this project, I conducted face-to-face interviews with six fathers recruited through snowball sampling.
