Welcome!
Thank you for visiting Portland Dads At Home. We are a recently formed group of dads at home with their kids living in Portland, Oregon, and neighboring communities, united by our commitment to raising our children and building strong families. We started with a simple Yahoo Group mailing list to gather an initial network of interested dads and to start organizing some activities. If you'd like to be part of this, join the more than 40 dads on the Portland Dad email list! If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us at webmaster (at) portlanddad.com.
About PortlandDad.com
Our mission is to connect At-Home Dads and their kids to play and learn.
Play. With our kids at playgrounds, rec centers, and field trips to OMSI, the Children's Museum, the zoo, and all the other places that make Portland such a great place to raise kids. It will get us out of the house, together with other dads, and the kids really look forward to time with their friends and the important work they do at play.
Learn. Share real-life resources and educational opportunities to help us in our role as parents. Any challenge you're facing has been faced by others in the network, and they'd be happy to share the benefit of their experience.
Connect. The kids aren’t the only ones who'll connect! Getting to know and “playing” with other dads at playgrounds, Dad’s Night Out, and other Portland Dad functions can open an often unexpected door to fun, camaraderie and friendships.
Portland Dads At Home is a network of dads who are actively involved with raising their children, some part-time, some full-time. Granddads, male nannies, and others who might find these resources beneficial are also welcome to join. Initially, the majority of our activities and members will be in the Portland, OR, metro area. However, we'd be happy to see this become a state-wide network.
