Being a dad is awesome.
It can also be confusing, lonely, and overwhelming.
At Fathercraft, we’ve talked to hundreds of guys who are dads to be, or have a little one or two. The same themes keep coming up:
These are guys who want to be awesome dads
They want to be there for their new baby, and for their partner
They also don’t want to lose themself — these are guys with ambitious goals
But they all know that a new baby is going to be a massive change.
And, these guys aren't afraid to admit the change that's coming is stressful.
The good news: you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
All the guys we’ve talked to were the inspiration for us starting to think about community. About building a place where guys who want to be kick-ass dads (and have fun doing it) can find a core group of guys who are there with them as they enter Fatherhood or tackle its next challenge.
The New Dad Cohort
Enrolling Now
Join a small, hand-picked group of guys committed to figuring out becoming an awesome dad together.
The 12-week cohort is for dads-to-be with babies on the way.
Facilitated by Fathercraft co-founders, this core group of guys will
- Meet via Zoom to work through big topics
- Get access to a private online community to discuss challenges, ask questions, and share wins.
- Work through Father’s Ed, our flagship dad prep course, at the same time to boost learning
The Fathercraft Community

An online community for dads who are taking this whole parenting thing seriously (but also want to have fun doing it.)
This online community is for dads with a little one (or two or three).
- Meet like-minded dads to exchange tips, tricks, ideas and questions
- Join interactive virtual workshops with peers and experts

FAQs
First, The Shop by Fathercraft will be a private community. Every single member will be reviewed by the Fathercraft team.
Second, it won’t be free. If you are willing to invest the cost of a couple pour-over coffees per month, it means you’re going to take this more seriously.
Third, the community will be actively moderated by the Fathercraft team. We will not hesitate to remove members who don’t follow our community guidelines.
No. We’ve thought a lot about this one. We believe moms are amazing. We also believe that there are lots of amazing communities out there for moms. We believe that a community just for dads will allow for deeper, more candid conversations.
We’ll also note that Fathercraft writ-large welcomes moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.
Short answer? Dads of all aged kids are welcome.
Slightly longer? Initially, The Shop will be geared towards new(ish) dads, expecting dads, and dads of young kids (think 10 and under). As we grow, we’ll get better at segmenting conversations, creating and curating content for dads of older kids too—in fact the clock is ticking on co-founder Paul’s critical need of figuring out how to be the dad of teenage girls.
Our community won’t constitute medical advice, and it’s important to remember you are responsible for the health and well-being of your children.
We have an answer. Probably. [email protected]
