SHARE & CONNECT · MODERATED CIRCLETHE MENTORSHIP EXCHANGE
Wisdom travels
both ways.
Our planned program pairs experienced fathers with young or expecting fathers for quarterly check-ins. Applications express interest; matching begins after screening, training, and program launch.
Connection with boundaries.
- Adult mentors and mentees: ages 18+.
- Screening, expectations, and a supervised reporting pathway before any match.
- Fathers ages 16–17 can express interest in future facilitated group programming. No private adult-minor matching.
- Mentors provide peer support; they do not replace legal or clinical professionals.
Find your local chapter.
Father-child reading hours. A day outside. A meal and a conversation. Local chapters will grow around the people who raise their hands.
Chapter organizing is open; no active meetups are listed yet.
