Good Dads Good Dads is a nonprofit with a mission to help kids and communities one dad at a time.

Good Dads began when business leaders in Springfield, Missouri recognized the impact of father absence on child well-being and came together for the purpose of supporting engaged fathers. They understand the value in helping fathers become more engaged with their children. They welcome the chance to promote father involvement in a way that benefits them, their customers and their community. They appreciate the potential to provide leadership in ways unique to their position.

Happy Necktie Day! What an neck-tacular holiday!

A necktie has sort of become a national symbol for dads and is an almost stereotypical Father's Day gift. If you have a necktie that you haven't worn in a while, today's the perfect day to rock it. 👔

Bonus points if you use this holiday as an opportunity to teach your youngsters how to tie a tie. Now go look dashing today!

Just a few of our favorite moments from the latest Good Dads Strong Schools events! Aren't those smiles infectious?

Huge shout-outs to Holland Elementary, Ozark West and Watkins Elementary, whose students and dads (and father-figures) all had an amazing time over breakfast with character-building activities. So fantastic!

We hope you agree: There is something special about gathering good people around a shared purpose!

Last night, we had the joy of doing just that at our fall donors reception hosted at the home of a board member, and we’re over the moon about this evening filled with warm conversation, delicious food, a little w**e, and the company of so many generous friends.

Most of all, we’re grateful.

Yesterday was an opportunity to celebrate the work we’re doing together. Thank you to everyone who was a part of that!

Just two little words: I'm sorry. Is it really that simple? (spoiler: there's more to it than that!)

An effective apology communicates more than just regret. Good dads understand that apologizing takes practice, and that modelling this behavior helps to raise respectful children, too.

Congratulations to five fathers for graduating from the Good Dads FORGE program! 🎊 Good Dads Fulton MO

Fulton was the first community in Missouri to implement the program, designed to equip fathers with the skills they need to succeed. These fathers are taking the right steps in their journeys, gaining skills in healthy communication, financial literacy and more.

The Good Dads Fulton Chapter believes that by strengthening fathers and supporting healthy relationships, kids and communities grow stronger for generations to come.

Way to go, dads! We are so proud of you!
