Parenting doesn’t come with a handbook and for many dads, it also doesn’t come with enough space to talk honestly about stress, emotions, and expectations. Dad 2 Dads is a supportive class series designed to help fathers strengthen their parenting skills, care for their own mental wellness, and build meaningful connections with their children.
Each session focuses on real-life challenges dads face today, offering practical tools, guided discussion, and a judgment-free environment where growth is encouraged.

Giving Tuesday: Triple Your Impact for Local Kids & Families!

Join The Up Center this Giving Tuesday and help create real change for children, teens, and families across Hampton Roads. Thanks to a generous $30,000 matching gift, every donation made during this event will be TRIPLED — turning one gift into three times the hope, healing, and support.

Why Your Gift MattersYour support fuels programs like therapeutic foster care and adoption services — programs that helped young people like Ana, who entered foster care at 15 after a difficult and traumatic childhood. With the support of her case manager and community donors, she found healing, stability, and eventually a loving adoptive family. Today, she’s thriving and still says, “Glad you always believed in me.”

How You Can Help on Giving Tuesday• Make a tax-deductible year-end gift• Have your donation TRIPLED thanks to the $30,000 match• Help more children begin 2026 with safety, connection, and hope

Be part of this community moment — triple your impact and transform lives right here at home.
