Summer Group Course Offerings:

This summer, in addition to our 2 hours of drop-in time per week, we are offering a range of two courses for fathers to participate in. These groups will provide guidance and community around various topics, resources, advocacy, and more. Upon completion of every course, an official credential will be provided, and ongoing verification of attendance is also included throughout the duration of each course.

Participants can join as many groups as they desire. Please view the groups below. We look forward to serving you.

Health insurance is accepted for MA residents in all courses. If you do not have health insurance and reside in Massachusetts, we can assist you with obtaining health insurance. For out-of-state learners, the fee for each course is $30.00 per session if your health insurance does not cover the cost.
