What is Dedicated Dads?

Dedicated Dads is a FREE 12 session fatherhood education program that will:

Who is this program for?

Dedicated Dads welcomes fathers from all walks of life who are ready to take the next step in learning new fatherhood and parenting skills while also taking some time to focus on themselves.

This program is for fathers and father figures who have children between the ages of 0-24 years. This includes new or expectant fathers, stepdads, foster dads, and grandparents or uncles serving as father figures. (Must be 18+)

Why enroll in this program?

Our Dedicated Dads program creates a supportive and safe place for dads to talk about their struggles and successes in fatherhood, examine their past and present situations, and learn practical strategies that can be used time and time again. We support your role as a father because your role is unique and an important contributor to the wellbeing of your children. This unique curriculum focused solely on fathers, is one of its kind in Santa Barbara County.
