President / Chapter Lead
Convene the team, maintain the mission, and coordinate with the founding team.
GET INVOLVED
Find your people.
Build your chapter.
One starting point for fathers, mentors, chapter leaders, volunteers, and partners. Tell us where you are and how you would like to contribute.
Choose a path forward.
Planning areas include Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Burlington / Alamance County. These are proposed cohort locations, not active chapters or scheduled meetings.
Interested in another city? Select Another city and name it in the optional note. Local interest meetings help the team learn before committing to a chapter.
What a first interest meeting could look like
- Identify a local host, accessible venue or virtual option, and a proposed date.
- Invite fathers, community organizations, schools, clinicians, and prospective volunteers through approved channels.
- Use a 60–90 minute agenda: welcome, local needs, program overview, leadership roles, and next steps.
- Collect consent-based interest, identify a host team, and review demand and capacity before a launch decision.
No meeting is booked by submitting this form. The team must confirm a host, date, and location.
PROPOSED CHAPTER TEAM
Local leadership, shared responsibility.
Vice President
Support delivery, volunteer coordination, and continuity when the lead is unavailable.
Secretary
Maintain agendas, approved records, meeting notes, and practical follow-up.
Event Planner
Coordinate accessible father-child gatherings, venues, and safeguarding arrangements.
Social Media Coordinator
Share approved updates, protect children’s privacy, and maintain a welcoming public voice.
Treasurer / Finance Liaison
Track authorized budgets and spending within founder-approved controls.
Family & Volunteer Liaison
Welcome families, coordinate accessibility needs, and connect volunteers with training.
Role descriptions, terms, selection, spending authority, and reporting arrangements need founder approval. Screening, training, and clear safeguarding responsibilities come before adult-minor activities.
Proposed support from the founding team
- Brand and mission guidance, approved communications, and chapter-startup templates.
- Parenting curriculum, facilitator orientation, and mentor/volunteer expectations.
- Safeguarding, privacy, incident-reporting, and referral procedures.
- Budget controls, partner introduction support, and a proposed recurring coordination call.
- Readiness review before a chapter advertises services or accepts participants.
These are proposed supports to be agreed with each host team. No stipend, grant, venue, clinical service, or operating budget is guaranteed.
A MOMENT TO PRACTICE
Emotional honesty is part of leadership
Your son notices that you are tearful and asks whether men are allowed to cry.
