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 …

Meet other local Stay At Home Dads, part-time at home dads, work from home dads, freelance dads, or dads who just want to meet other dads in Lower Westchester. My goal is to set up small get-togethers in the area so we can have our little ones interact with each other. The biggest challenge for us Stay At Home Dads is isolation, so it's time to get out of the house!

Oddly, there is a very high per-capita rate of dads in / around Hamilton Park (in Jersey City, NJ), who are CTO's or tech-entrepreneurs. You might be surprised by some of the big name startups who's CEO/CTO is rubbing elbows with you during the morning drop-offs. Here's a chance for us all to get together either at Basic one morning a month, or at the Hamilton Inn one evening a month - to swap stories and get away from our kids for a couple of hours. You in?

This meetup is for founding team members that have kids. We shouldn't have to choose between spending time with the kids and connecting with other founders. Let's build a startup community around playdates and parent/child projects instead of drink-ups and powerpoint.
