Story here. Excerpt:

'Watch DOGS (Dads of Great Students) is a national program promoting father involvement and positive male role-models in elementary schools. It is sponsored by the National Center for Fathering and has been active since 1999. According to their official website there are over 3,793 active Watch DOGS programs in 46 states as of the date of this posting.

This is an excellent program for those who are interested in getting involved at the local level. If promoting positive role-models and connecting with children is your passion, I encourage you to either join a nearby group, or create one.

Some key resources:

  • You may find a nearby group to volunteer at here at Volunteer Spot.
  • Official training for the program is available free via conference call here.
  • Here is a downloadable handout listing the benefits, goals, nature, and public recognition of the program.
  • For more information, email the program at watchdogs@fathers.com. A program director can be contacted at 1-888-540-DOGS (3647).'
