Groups directory
Welcome to the groups listing on AtHomeDad.org. Use this section to find a group of dads in your local area, advertise your group, communicate with each other, discuss local topics, keep a calendar of events, and otherwise keep your group organized and visible. Groups that are based on a particular interest (rather than location) are also welcome.
Nearly all of the groups listed are very informal and welcome new members. Most are just groups of dads who get together with their kids (or without the kids) to socialize with others in similar situations. So, if you're new here, don't be afraid to join a group, contact the group organizers or otherwise get involved and say hello. Click on the group name for more information.
If there's not a group in your area, why not start one yourself? Create a group, describe what you'd like to do, and get the word out here. If you have an existing group website, feel free to add a listing here that points to your site. For more information on adding a group, click here.
