Code of Conduct

Are you a dad, or maybe just feeling paternal? Would you like to make a difference in the life of another person via emotional support and teaching life skills? We would love for you to join us at a Dads Hug Too event. Here are a few things you must know as you become involved.

  1. Dads Hug Too accepts, respects and affirms all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
  2.  Dads Hug Too expects anyone representing our organization to be non-discriminatory and to conduct themselves ethically.
  3.  Dads Hug Too is working towards non-profit status and therefore we cannot as an organization endorse, condone or condemn any political candidate or politician. Please avoid any social media posts and/or photos of a political nature while representing Dads Hug Too.
  4. Regarding social media posts, never post a photo or video with an LGBTQ+ person without consent. Avoid the use of any profanity in posts connected with Dads Hug Too.
  5.  Please respect people’s personal space and boundaries. Sometimes a high five, a fist bump or even a smile is preferred to a hug. ALWAYS ASK before making any physical contact.
  6. Using correct pronouns is extremely important. Be aware of any person’s preferred pronouns and respect their choice. If you don’t know, please ask.
  7. Dads Hug Too is not responsible for any interactions outside of our events. Sharing personal contact information is at your own discretion and risk.
  8. As a reminder, most of us are not mental health professionals, so if you connect with someone please make sure you’re protecting yourself and the person whom you are attempting to help.
  9. While representing Dads Hug Too, we will be held harmless for any damage to your person or property.
  10.  Please follow all federal, state and local laws and ordinances when participating in Dads Hug Too events. We will not be held responsible for any illegal and/or criminal activities while you represent our organization.
  11. Participation equals acceptance of these policies.
