Impact
The work happens every morning at 5:30.
We publish what we can verify. Numbers appear on this page with a date and a source, or they do not appear at all.
What runs today
Morning Coffee Hour
A live call every morning at 5:30 AM Mountain, 365 days a year, hosted by the founder. Fathers join from across the country and abroad.
Daily text program
A daily message written to the father in crisis, with a free eBook and the Morning Coffee Hour link in the welcome sequence.
The Proving Ground
A free structured community with courses, worksheets, and a nine-level accountability ladder.
The FORGE
A 10-week intensive with a defined curriculum (the Four Pillars), cohort accountability, and a scholarship seat in every full cohort.
Legislative tracking
A public state-by-state shared parenting tracker, updated each legislative session.
Free public events
The signature Father’s Day Water Gun Fight returns in 2027, free to attend.
Verified numbers
We are a young organization and we hold ourselves to a strict rule: no number goes on this page until it is verified, dated, and sourced. The first verified figures, dads on the daily text, Morning Coffee Hour attendance, cohort completions, and scholarship seats funded, will be published here as our measurement systems come online. What we will not do is publish an impressive-sounding estimate.
How the work becomes the outcome
The program model, from what goes in to what changes. The F.O.R.G.E. framework is the curriculum spine at every tier.
