Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal for the project is to create a mentorship program that empowers future hunters and wildlife stewards by instilling a deep appreciation for wildlife and the natural environment, while promoting responsible hunting practices and wildlife conservation. The program aims to pair aspiring hunters with experienced mentors who will share their knowledge, skills, and ethical principles, going beyond teaching hunting techniques to foster a sense of stewardship towards wildlife resources.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?


  • Ensuring equipment is available for students and mentors
  • Implementation and coordination of mentor-mentee pairings.
  • Marketing events
  • Evaluation and assessment of the program's impact on participants.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

The student will coordinate with the Executive Director and Student Director. The student will also have access to grant funds and hunting equipment.
