What an All Pro Dad event is

All Pro Dad is the part of The Fatherhood Initiative your kids get to come to.

It's a national fatherhood program from the nonprofit Family First, running in more than 1,400 chapters across the country.

In 2026 the State of Ohio partnered with All Pro Dad to bring chapters to communities like ours, and Beneath the Shade runs the Tuscarawas County chapters.

Once a month, each chapter gathers dads and kids for about an hour.

There's food. There are games.

And there's one short talk on a single idea, like honesty, courage, or keeping your word.

Then you and your kid talk about it. Not a lecture. A conversation.

You walk out with one thing to work on together before next month.

No homework, just you, your kid, and a room full of dads doing the same thing.

A father with his family at a community event

Kids don't remember the speeches.

They remember that Dad showed up, in front of everybody, and picked them.

Do that twelve times a year and watch what happens at home.

Chapters across the county

Tuscarawas County is big, so All Pro Dad meets in more than one place.

Each chapter meets at a church in a different part of the county, with its own host and its own monthly date.

Go to the one near you, or the one that fits your parenting time. Every chapter welcomes every dad.

Want All Pro Dad at your church, school, or gym? Let's start a chapter.

We bring the format, the talk, the sign-up, and the team.

You bring the room and the dads.

Straight answers to fair questions

"Do I have to be in the workshop?" +

No.

All Pro Dad is open to any dad in Tuscarawas County.

Plenty of guys start here and find the workshop later.

"What ages are the kids?" +

School-age kids, kindergarten through high school.

The curriculum has an elementary version and a secondary version, so the talk fits the kid.

Little brothers and sisters tag along all the time.

"What if I don't have my kids that day?" +

Tell us.

With chapters meeting on different days, we'll point you to the date that fits your parenting time.

"I'm a stepdad. Does that count?" +

Yes.

Stepdads, granddads, and uncles.

Anyone standing in the dad spot is welcome.

"What does it cost?" +

Nothing.

Food included.

Your kid is waiting for you to show up.

One hour. One month at a time.

That's how the dad your kid brags about gets built.

Bring them to the next one.
