GET TO KNOW YOUR DAD TEAM

Dad’s Organization is a fellowship of men who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may be better fathers and family men within their communities. We speak from our own personal experience and do not give advice or problem solve. Although many problems can disappear with the right support! The requirements for membership are to be a dad in some capacity and a willingness to learn and grow with each other in a respectful, trusting and confidential way.

Dad’s Organization is an international fellowship of men who are dad’s in some capacity. You may have one child or five, be a stepdad, grandfather, adopted, new dad, divorced and single or dads to be or father figure in some capacity. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available to you from anywhere. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to actively participate in their personal growth around fatherhood.

What are the guiding principles of a Dad’s Organization?

We base our values on self-help, personal responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. In the traditions of family, members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.

Dad’s Organization is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy. Our primary purpose is to encourage and support fathers in their own personal journey without judgement so that they may be the best possible father and person they can be.
