Watch D.O.G.S. are fathers and father figures who volunteer in a variety of school activities, serving as positive male role models to our students.
What is Watch D.O.G.S.
WATCH D.O.G.S. is one of the nation’s largest and most respected school-based, family, and community engagement, organizations in the country. Each school year hundreds of thousands of fathers and father-figures make a positive impact on millions of children by volunteering millions of hours in their local schools through this amazing one-of-a-kind program.
