About America’s Grandfather
America’s Grandfather is an organization committed to preserving the most vital relationships that unite this country and make it great: the family. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, America’s Grandfather offers practical advice, time-tested methods, and the very best in resources to help families flourish and prosper.
Building Strong Family Foundations
While we don’t accept that a family is one-size-fits-all, we do acknowledge that there is a recipe for success, and if applied right, it can create a solid foundation to build a strong family. This includes knowing how to communicate effectively, showing mutual respect, being adaptable to change, and, most importantly, cultivating an environment that is anchored in love. Yet, while this is the core of our beliefs, we recognize that this may be easier said than done. For that reason, we not only provide a blueprint to help establish family values, but we also offer hands-on family mentoring to couples and parents with kids of all ages to get you started and help you along the way.

The activities, tips, expert advice, and other family resources provided through America’s Grandfather have helped couples and families all across the United States maintain and grow their relationships.
