The Father’s Club is a dad-led, grass roots effort promoting intentionality around dads’ relationships and time spent with their families, with each other and within the community.
The hope is that such intention will help empower parents to be a catalyst for change in the areas of mental health, teen suicide, substance abuse, technology addiction, self-worth, anxiety and stronger families.
The Father’s Club is a dad-led, grassroots effort creating simple ways for dads to be intentional with their KIDS, with other DADS and within their COMMUNITY. With resolve, humility, and love, our mission is to be a catalyst for positive influence around the world.
The Father’s Club recruits its leadership with those who identify personally with our culture. Finding dads who fit is one of the most important components of creating a compelling culture that lasts. The Father’s Club culture isn’t just lived by its leaders, we want all who come in contact with us to experience our servant leadership culture. Our process focuses on our core values:
The Father’s Club desires to ensure that we are loving and impactful in our communities. We want to help kids, dads, and communities be everything that they can be. It is a much higher calling than any political or cultural war that’s being waged.
The Father’s Club is about fathers making a difference. We are fathers and we are supportive of fatherhood. We have the desire to do anything we can to strengthen families and we are committed to it.
The Father’s Club is open to partnering with organizations that are impactful and authentic. Partnering with any organization will be the determination of the Board of Directors and/or the Executive Committee.
Father’s Club is made up of volunteers. Real dads making a real difference.
