Reel Anglers 2024

Description

🎣Volunteer Opportunity: Help Empower Youth through Fishing 

Join us as a volunteer for ImPowered Minds' Reel Anglers program, where we combine fishing, education, and mentorship to empower local youth. As a volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of young people from our community while sharing your passion for fishing.

🎣About Reel Anglers:

Reel Anglers is a fun and exciting program where kids can learn about fishing, spend time in nature, and make new friends. Fathers and father figures are encouraged to join in the fun, creating a special opportunity to bond with their children. You'll get to work with experienced anglers who will teach you all about fishing and help you improve your skills.

Whether it's casting the first line or celebrating a big catch, these moments are perfect for building strong family connections. And we can't leave the moms out! Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun and share in the joy of fishing and family time.

We'll spend time outside, enjoying the calming effects of nature. Fishing is a great way to relax and feel better, and you'll learn how it can help reduce stress and improve your mood. You'll also get to experience the full fishing process, from catching the fish to cleaning and cooking them. This hands-on activity will teach you valuable skills and give you a deeper connection to the outdoors.
