With more men working from home, opportunities for socialization has diminished, and fellas are looking for ways to get out of the house and find likeminded pals. We hear about moms-nights-out, book clubs lead by women, and postpartum groups for new moms, but what about the dads? Where is their outlet?

If you’re local, check out these groups. You might just see something that sounds interesting!

F3 Naperville: A free, participant-lead boot camp for men. F3’s mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Ask anyone involved with F3 and they will talk about the fellowship and killer workouts, rain or shine.

Naperville Dad Network: A closed group for Naperville, IL (and surrounding areas) for Dads to chat about being Dads and whatever else. Maybe it’s baby advice, fantasy football talk, a question about parenting, or you just need someone to grab a beer with.

Meetup: A compilation of men’s groups in and around the Naperville area including a GBTQ+ group, Post-divorce group, men’s book club, and organized sports clubs

Naperville Newcomers and Neighbors: The NNNC Men’s Group has grown from start-up to over sixty members in just a few years. In addition to our monthly dinners, we also have a Book Club, a Brewery and Distillery Tour group, and Fair-Weather Bike group.
