Learn More About Us

We're a national movement of Dads who are celebrating fatherhood, building real community that uplifts and inspires, and participating in local service.

Our approach is simple:

  • Connect through what we already love, because Dad life is centered on joy and connection
  • Share our stories so we can build and strengthen relationships among Dads
  • Know our sh!t and stay informed on what actually affects our kids
  • Take action locally to create the communities our children deserve
