If you're looking to refresh your fatherhood programming or start a new initiative that engages dads in a meaningful, measurable way, you're in the right place.

24:7 Dad® 4th Edition is the most widely used, evidence-based fatherhood program in the U.S., trusted by human service organizations, schools, correctional facilities, home visiting programs, and more. And now, it’s packed with new features, updated content, and flexible delivery options that make it easier than ever to help dads succeed.

What’s Inside the New 4th Edition?

The 4th Edition isn’t just an update—it’s a transformation based on partner feedback, research, and the evolving needs of dads across communities. 

New Features & Enhancements

- Group-Based and One-on-One Delivery
Whether you’re facilitating sessions in a classroom or visiting dads in their homes, the 4th Edition fits your model. Nearly 40% of organizations that purchased the 4th Edition chose the new one-on-one format—perfect for home visiting, case management, and make-up sessions.

- Improved Flow and Experience
Session content has been redesigned for smoother facilitation and participant engagement. You’ll find better pacing, new transitions, and session scripts that give facilitators confidence from day one.

- Videos of Real Dads
Every session includes a relevant, inspiring video featuring real fathers talking about their experiences. These short videos spark conversation and bring the curriculum to life.

- Brand New PowerPoint Deck
This was a frequent request! The program now has a PowerPoint with slides for each session, professionally designed for visual impact and aligned with session content. Use it during live sessions or for virtual delivery.

- Optional Introductory Session
Start strong with a pre-session that helps dads bond, set expectations, and get excited about their journey.

- Pre- and Post-Surveys
Evaluate your impact with easy-to-administer pre- and post-program surveys and scoring guides. Improved for easier understanding and measurement.

- Facilitator Support for Life!
As always, all 24:7 Dad® facilitators get access to our email onboarding series, quarterly facilitator meetings, and ongoing technical support from NFI’s Program Success Team.
