Good Dads Cass County

About
Good Dads
Cass County

Good Dads Cass County is a community-driven initiative dedicated to strengthening families by equipping, encouraging and engaging father across Cass County, Missouri.  We believe that involved, responsible and committed dads make a powerful difference in the lives of children and the overall health of our communities.
 
Our chapter serves the diverse and vibrant communities throughout Cass County, including Harrisonville, Belton, Raymore, Pleasant Hill, Garden City, Peculiar, Archie and Drexel.  Through outreach, education and support, we work to connect dads with the tools and resources they need to be present and positive influences in their children’s lives.
 
In collaboration with the Harrisonville Area Chamber of Commerce, we build bridges between local businesses, families and schools to foster a culture that values strong fatherhood.  We also work closely with local school districts to provide programming, mentorship opportunities and support networks that benefit both fathers and students.
 
Whether you’re a new dad, a seasoned parent or a community member who wants to support strong families, Good Dads Cass County is here to help you thrive.  If you would like to become involved, please reach out to us at the contact information below!
