Empowering and uplifting Fathers Together

Our Mission

 “Connecting, uplifting and supporting fathers of all kinds across the nation.” 

At The United Dads of America, our mission is to support fathers through the various challenges of fatherhood and to foster quality time spent with their children. We believe that every father deserves access to critical resources that promote their health and well-being, allowing them to become the best version of themselves for their families. 

Mental Health

Mental health is one of our primary focuses, as a father we bear a load that often goes unrecognized. Having a group of fathers to relate to and support one another can have an immensely positive effect on an individual who may feel as though they are alone in this battle.  For those who may need it, we also have community resources prepared and ready to deliver on the mission of helping. 

Drug and Alcohol Dependence

Too often we as men and fathers find ourselves coping by substance abuse. This can disable ones ability to find the true meaning and purpose of being an involved father, essentially acting as a road block. The UDA has set aside resources to help those who need it find their path towards healthier living and being free of this burden. 

Why fathers matter

Fatherless Homes

There are over 18 million Fatherless children in the US.  A result of fathers being absent from approximately 80% of single-parent homes. These fatherless families are 4x more likely to live in poverty. 


Data suggests 84% of homeless families are absent of a father and 90% of homeless and runaway children come from fatherless homes.


63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. 85% of children who exhibit behavior disorders are from fatherless homes.


70%-80% of inmates in U.S. prisons grew up in a fatherless home or without a father figure. 


Most adolescents who enter the justice system have suffered from parental abandonment, substance abuse, or a dysfunctional household. In a study of 75 juvenile delinquents, 66% experienced fatherlessness, 20% had never lived with their father, and 25% had an alcoholic father.


Children living absent their biological father are 2 to 3 times more likely to be expelled or suspended at some time.


Girls who feel closeness to their father are 75% less likely to have a teen birth. One study showed girls whose father left the home before they were 5 years old were 8 times more likely to become pregnant as adolescents.


When children have an actively involved father, they are 33% less likely to drop out of school.
