Georgia Dad Tribe of Savannah builds brotherhood through fatherhood

SAVANNAH, Ga. () — A Savannah group is building bonds of friendship through fatherhood.

Searching the web, Mike Ramsay came across Lonestar Dads, a Texas community of men united by fatherhood.

Inspired by the group’s mission, Ramsay established the Georgia Dad Tribe of Savannah, a local branch of Lonestar Dads. In just three months, this group has grown to include over 1,000 members across five counties: Chatham, Bulloch, Bryan, Effingham, and Liberty.

This group offers more than just a social gathering—it creates a crucial environment for fathers to connect, share, and support each other through the challenges and joys of parenting.

“Women are phenomenal at building community,” Mike says. “Men, we don’t do that too much. It’s a little harder to try and get around that.”

He explains that when men become fathers, their social lives often fade into the background.

“When you have kids, your social life often takes a back seat because your priorities shift to working, supporting your family, and raising your children.”

This is where the Georgia Dad Tribe of Savannah comes in, providing a Facebook group where dads can chat, socialize, and join in activities together—from barbecues to community gatherings—and continually expanding its reach to more fathers.

According to Mike, one of the most significant aspects of Dad Tribe is the chance for “open conversations.” These often begin over a coffee or under a post on the Facebook group, offering a space for men to discuss fatherhood, self-confidence, and friendship—topics not always easily addressed.

“Now, there’s a growing comfort in having these discussions,” he explains. “People often don’t realize that guys have these conversations or that such spaces exist.”

But through the group, they do.

“One of the greatest things we all gain from this is not just a friend or an acquaintance,” Mike says. “We gain a sense of community and family where we can reach out if we need something and we know other people are gonna show up and we know people are gonna be there.”

Despite being the founder of the Georgia chapter, Mike is quick to emphasize that this is not about him.

“None of this is about me,” he says. “This is about the men who are fathers in the community. They are the ones who make it what it is, who make it special… they are the ones who make it worth.”

Dad Tribe of Savannah welcomes all fathers—adoptive, biological, stepfathers and grandfathers. For Mike, it’s about reaching as many families as possible and making sure no dad feels left out.

Beyond offering support to each other, the group is also active in the community. In May, Dad Tribe donated $300 to Brett J. Morris Avenger Foundation as part of a campaign where Mike pledged one dollar per every new member.

But for Mike, the most rewarding stories are the personal ones. Like the father who, after joining Dad Tribe, rediscovered his passion for roller hockey after 25 years.

That is what the Georgia Dad Tribe of Savannah is about, Mike says. Helping fathers reconnect with themselves and one another.

“That’s what we’re trying to build. We wanna make sure that dads can know that we’re here.”
