Veterans Outdoors Foundation
Our main goal is to get our Veterans and Active Duty Military involved in outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, water sports, etc.
Cast and Hook Fishing
The goal of Cast & Hook Fishing is to provide a better quality of life for 1st Responders and Veterans that are struggling with PTSD. We do so by providing them with healthy options to cope with mental health and job-related stressors. The objective of this project is to decrease the negative effects of PTSD within our participants by providing them with healthy options to decompress and manage stress rather than turning to unhealthy strategies and addictive substances which are detrimental to their health and wellness. We will accomplish this by providing our participants with free beach, wilderness, adventure and recreational therapy.
Back Country Hunters and Anglers
The Armed Forces Initiative introduces the military community to public lands and waters by providing outdoor adjunct therapy to enhance their mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being while providing them a new mission as conservationists. We host events for members of the military community all over the United States and Canada teaching participants how to hunt, fish, camp, hike, and recreate outdoors through the lense of conservation. Not just how to hunt but why to hunt, and how to use their voice as veterans or active duty service members to ensure the continued existence of wild places available to every American.
