One of the greatest things you can do in life is to be a father … and to be the father you always wanted or hoped to be. You play a crucial role in raising your child and shaping them into who they were created to be, but the role and transition into fatherhood and its different stages doesn’t always come easy. At Vida, we’re equipping and empowering men in this great calling!
We want to help. Vida Support Services offers male mentoring and parenting education. You’re paired with a male mentor who has walked the path of fatherhood and can provide help and encouragement in a supportive and non-judgmental space.
You will meet regularly (monthly is most common) at Vida in Appleton, where you can develop skills that will prepare, equip, and continue to empower you in fatherhood, whether an expectant father or new dad. Our mentors meet you where you are on your journey through parenting.
They will provide one-on-one lessons on topics like:
Mentors will work with you to schedule appointments around your busy schedule.

Through participating in our male mentoring and parenting education programming, dads can earn credit to be spent in our store, The Little Dear Boutique.
Our store has items like diapers, wipes, clothing, baby shampoo, formula, and other hygiene items for parents. If you are in need of gas, bus tickets, food or housing, we can help connect you to other community resources too.
