Wisdom. Connection. Community.

Grandpas United is a growing network of grandfathers (and grandfather figures) who come together to enjoy time with each other, mentor youth, inspire fathers and strengthen our communities. We bring generations together, showing that age is an asset, not a barrier. We’re mentors with mileage. We’re Gramps, not grumps!

As Featured On

Being a volunteer Grandpa isn’t another job, it’s a chance to have fun, feel useful, and make a real difference. A little time, a lot of impact. Improve the lives of younger generations… and each other. Join or support Grandpas United today.
