DUMBO Dads is a Meetup group for Dads living in DUMBO, Brooklyn. DUMBO Dads thinks it’s important to help new parents understand and adapt to what’s happening in their lives. Being a new parent can be confusing, and it can be isolating. New parents think their kid is going to turn blue any second, and without the traditional support that parents in more rural or suburban communities enjoy, the first-time New York City parent is left to discover what they can from whomever they can, as best they …

WHY DO FATHERING FORUM TEAMS EXIST? Fathering Forum Team meetings are a special time – and for some dads the only scheduled time - when fathers can open up and just “be themselves.” Dads benefit from the diverse perspectives and experiences of other dads, as well as from their careful and attentive listening. Dads also get immense gratification from contributing to each other, and knowing that their special gifts are welcomed and valued by the community. Although the challenges fathers fa …

The Fathering Forum is a place where Fathers go to be better Dads. It's that simple. We recognize that "Father" is a legal and biological term. But being a Dad is something else entirely. It is an embracing of the responsibilities of Fatherhood and an acknowledgment that we are fathers to all children, not just our own. The members of the Fathering Forum do not pretend to be experts; we are a growing grassroots team of men from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, opinions, beliefs, re …
