About Us 

Bahamas All Pro Dad – Father and Kids Initiative - is an affiliate chapter of All Pro Dad (USA). We were introduced to The Bahamas in October 2006 by Kirk Johnson, founder of The My Heart Matters Group.  Locally, we operate as a program of the MHMG.

We are a member of a growing global community of affiliate chapters found throughout the US, in South Africa, Canada, China and the UK. The All Pro Dad initiative is a sports-influenced program of Family First; a faith-based, nonprofit organization based in Tampa, Florida and founded by Mark Merrill.  Visit The Bahamas All Pro Dad international listing. Head Coach of the Indianapolis Colts (2007 Super Bowl Champions) Tony Dungy, serves as Head Coach of the All Pro Dad program.

The Bahamas All Pro Dad is honoured to have Dr. Myles Munroe as its coach and advisor.  We are a nonprofit, faith-based organization comprised of committed men and fathers and supported by mothers and others.
 
We present energized, innovative programs and events to strengthen our men and fathers, our youths, our women and mothers, our families, our communities and our country. As a program of The My Heart Matters Group, we too are Relationship Builders®

We screen and train our team leaders

We incorporate athletics and sports in providing support, education and intervention programs in partnership with government agencies, corporate Bahamas, international organizations, civic groups and community-minded persons and organizations.

We achieve our goals through role playing, coaching and counseling, interactive games, motivational talks, video presentations, parenting and family classes and other resources.
