City Dads in the News
City Dads Group is committed to advancing the conversation about modern fatherhood. We highlight the importance of fathers being involved in their children’s lives and how today’s at-home dads and working fathers shatter stereotypes and misconceptions.
As one of the largest organized communities of dads in the United States, we are frequently featured in local and national media.
