About

Built for dads who want in.

Most parenting programs are designed for mothers, or for parents in general. Very few are built for fathers. Level Up! Dads is.

What it is

Level Up! Dads is a peer support and mentorship program run by the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida. It runs on a twelve month rotating schedule, and each month has a topic meant to help fathers become the best version of themselves they can be.

The name was chosen on purpose. It avoids shame and judgement, it reflects growth rather than correction, and it is meant to appeal to fathers who would never sign up for something called a parenting class.

What it is not

  • No court orders

    Nobody is sent here. Every dad turns up because he decided to.

  • No curriculum

    There is nothing to complete and no test at the end.

  • No weekly classes

    Come to what fits your week. Miss one and nothing is held against you.

  • No cost

    Free, and funded privately so it can stay that way.
