Connecting youth to nature is the primary goal of our program services. JrAHA’s strategy is to utilize the two most popular outdoors recreational activities, fishing and hunting to make the connections to nature for a lifetime.
The programs are are a "gateway" concept based upon teaching basic skills, knowledge, ethics and rules and providing practical experiences so that the families and children can follow a "pathway" to lifelong recreational activities outdoors.
"Access" to outdoor recreational venues is provided to expand the experiences outdoors and encourage continuing down the pathway to lifelong outdoors activities
