District Dads

District Dads is all about celebrating fatherhood and building strong families through connection, resources, and support. The program creates a sense of brotherhood among the fathers, which often continues through an alumni group after graduation. From workshops to community events, dads are coming together to learn, grow, and lead in their children’s lives.
