Hooked On Fishing Not On Drugs

HOFNOD is the flagship education program of the national Future Fisherman Foundation.

 

Programs are designed for youth ages 5 and older. Parents, older siblings and anyone who likes to fish are encouraged to participate. Although being an active outdoorsman is a plus, it is not a requirement for volunteers. Anyone can take a child fishing or serve as their mentor. A love for children is the main ingredient for success.

 

Through this program, HOFNOD participants will:

  • Learn all the skills necessary to fish safely on their own in a variety of settings.
  • Attain the ability to teach others.
  • Adopt fishing as a wholesome pastime and be encouraged to enjoy it regularly with their friends and family.
  • Take an active role in conservation in their community.
  • Develop ethical attitudes about the outdoors.
  • Be empowered by a new, fun activity to develop positive lifestyles, such as creative decision-making, problem-solving, patience, and camaraderie.
  • Develop better communication skills.
  • Gain new confidence and find a new sense of respect and responsibility for themselves, their friends and family, and community.
