Good Dads Rolla’s Strong Schools have all started up for this semester!!

Truman Elementary had a GREAT Good Dads Strong Schools kickoff last month! 👏💙

We’re excited to see this program continue to grow and create opportunities for dads to be involved and connected in their children’s schools.

📅 Meetings are held at 7 AM on the last Tuesday of every month while school is in session.

We’re thankful for the dads, school staff, and community partners who are making this possible! 🙌

Wow! ❤️ What a remarkable evening of joy and celebration at our Good Dads Rolla chapter! Three dads walked the stage last week for the chapter's first Graduation event! Everyone gathered to honor these dads for achieving a huge goal!

These dads completed both classes in the New Pathways for Good Dads program. They are employed, paying child support, and/or contributing to the wellbeing of their children. They have demonstrated perseverance, dedication and a willingness to grow.

Thank you to our skilled facilitators, Shaun, Don and Sue, for being these fathers' biggest cheerleaders. And thank you to First UMC for generously offering classroom space. This is an amazing example of community togetherness that deserves to be celebrated!

The Good Dads graduates
and their families 🖤✨

This is who we do it for—and it’s worth every bit of the time and effort we put into helping families not just survive, but thrive through more engaged and involved fathers.

These men are pioneers, helping us lay the foundation and grow Good Dads throughout Rolla and the surrounding communities. We are so proud of each of them and excited to see the impact they will continue to make in their families and beyond!

Congrats Dads!
