Fishing
- Fishing teaches kids to learn from every mistake.
- Sometimes, the things we think we want, we just need to throw back.
- Being disciplined and having a can-do spirit will take you a long way.
- The lesson is that often-times you may have to do seemingly dull and tedious tasks, but they can pay off in the long run. Just stick with it.
- Don’t lose sight of your surroundings. You can’t take advantage of an opportunity if you don’t see it coming.
Mentoring
Our mentoring program teaches youth how to find true value in life. The program also gives each child a new appreciation of life.
