Welcome to Dads Make a Difference^TM, a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization with both a national and international presence. Our Mission is to promote the positive involvement of fathers and to educate youth about responsible parenting.  We envision a future where society values and supports healthy male socialization and the important role of involved, responsible, and committed fathers in children's lives.

Our target audience is middle school-age youth, high school-age youth, young adults, and the teachers and other professionals who work with them.   Dads Make a Difference is the umbrella organization for two exciting curricula:

• the original Dads Make a Difference^TM curriculum taught by trained high school-age teen peer educators (male and female) to middle school-age youth, and



• our second curriculum, The R Factor: Building Resiliency in Young Adults^TM, taught primarily by teachers to young adults ages 16 to 20 years.

Learn about the importance of fathers in the lives of children, planning for a healthy future as a responsible parent or mentor, and the people who help share the important message of Dads Make a Difference.

A responsible father is ... "One that loves his child and gives them some of what they want and all of what they need."
