Who are Watch D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students)?
WATCH D.O.G.S.® is a national initiative founded in 1998 to inspire more positive male role models to show all students by our participation that education is important. The program has been launched on over 8000 campuses through collaboration between school administrators and local communities across 47 States in the U.S. and four countries worldwide, representing millions of volunteer shifts by parents, guardians and community members.
Every campus Program Coordinator and Top DOGS Team acknowledges and adheres to the Important Program Guidelines but the volunteer policy on your campus is yours. We do not interfere in any way, WATCH D.O.G.S.® are present only to serve.
Over the years we have created and refined our toolkit for teams to use to establish and run a successful WATCH D.O.G.S® Program. We want to make sure you have everything you need to run a successful program.

To all Parents and Guardian Volunteers
Our goal at WATCH D.O.G.S.® is to have as many volunteers as possible to assist educators and be a positive role model for our future generations. TOP D.O.G.S. are integral to the success of each program, serving as a team of leaders maintaining continuity and longevity for the program on a campus. Our hope is that there is a TOP DOG for every grade level at your school and that the parents of students graduating elementary are helping ensure there are programs for their students at middle and high schools. Experts are saying that is where we are most needed these days.
