Expand the Reach and Success of our Programs

“The ability to share my love for an activity with other kids is a great feeling. Fishing provides an opportunity to bond, despite of any cultural, social, or economical differences. The kids I taught are without a doubt far different from myself, so the thought that I was able to introduce such a great activity to them and encourage them to become more involved in their natural environment is spectacular. As far as looking at what I gained from my experience, F4FN has helped me become a better leader in my community and more aware of the societal differences in my local community.” - Koby Krinsky (F4FN Miami Program Director)

Another fun-filled semester of marine conservation and responsible angling education has concluded! We are now in a crucial phase of expansion as we continue on our mission to educate the next generation of environmental stewards. Our students loved the classes so much that we have decided to lengthen the Responsible Angling Education program from 8 weeks to 30 weeks long. This means more projects, more field trips, more guest speakers, and of course more fun! 

The new programs, being rolled out in 2019, will contain a STEM centered curriculum, while focusing on critical topics such as: overfishing, climate change, ocean pollution, and much more! They will be offered at 6 locations in South Florida through our partners: Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade & Florence Fuller Child Development Center. 

Impacting more youth means that we need your support to continue this advantageous growth. Please consider supporting our efforts by making a gift online today or reaching out to give via check. Every gift makes a difference!

Sincerely,

Nicholas C. Metropulos

"F4FN benefited me greatly, I learned leadership skills from other volunteers as well as how revolutionary this program can be for those children and volunteers involved."- Brandon Janjic (F4FN Volunteer)

After two summer programs, Fishing for Families in Need has educated over 2,000 socio-economically disadvantaged children on how to be stewards of their local marine environment. Through our Responsible Angling Education program, we intend to enhance these children's lives by imparting skills and knowledge that will empower them in their daily lives while also creating young ethical anglers who recognize the need to safeguard and preserve our marine ecoystems.

With all of our programs to date, we are currently on track to educate 2,150+ children in 2019. We look forward to starting our Responsible Angling Education programs back up in September. Please consider supporting our efforts by giving today.

Sincerely,

Nicholas C. Metropulos
