Together, The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF) and NRPA are bringing boating and fishing funding and resources to local park and recreation agencies and youth service organizations through the Take Me Fishing™ initiative. Reconnecting kids with nature and engaging them in recreational boating and fishing activities is what Take Me Fishing is all about.
Over the past six years more than 640,000 youth and families have participated in recreational boating and fishing activities throughout the United States. In 2011 NRPA awarded 20 communities grant funding to establish new or expand existing boating and fishing programs.
NRPA created a resource guide to help agencies and organizations develop and sustain successful programs that will engage thousands of youth in the lifetime pursuits of boating and fishing, and create a new generation passionate about nature.
