Next Session of Loudoun Online Initiative to Develop Fatherhood Skills Begins July 14

The next session of the National Fatherhood Initiative’s 24/7 Dad® program sponsored by Loudoun County begins Tuesday, July 14, 2026. All fathers and father figures are welcome to attend this free, 11-week, online program to build their skills to become even stronger parental figures.

The online workshops will take place weekly on Tuesday evenings on Microsoft Teams.

• July 14 - September 22, 2026, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
• October 6 - December 15, 2026, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Participants will meet as a group to discuss topics, including men’s health, communication, discipline, getting involved, co-parenting, work-life balance and child development. Early registration is encouraged as space is limited.

Developed by parenting experts, the 24/7 Dad® program teaches fathering techniques and strategies, provides fathers and father figures with peer support and guidance, and allows them the opportunity to discover their own parenting strengths.

Additionally, Loudoun County sponsors ProFathering15™. Through this program, fathers and father figures can meet with a peer mentor in a one-on-one setting to discuss 15 parenting topics, including child discipline, work-life balance and child development. ProFathering15™ can be done virtually or in person throughout the year.

For more information about these programs and to register, visit loudoun.gov/fatherhood.

Anyone who requires an accommodation to participate in the program may contact the Department of Family Services at 703-737-8237. Three business days’ notice is requested.
