FLORIDA FISHING ACADEMY


HELPING AT-RISK KIDS GROW & LEARN THROUGH FISHING

A fun day of fishing becomes a tool for growth with the Florida Fishing Academy,
a kids’ charity. We take at-risk kids in Palm Beach County on a journey to
explore Florida’s marine environment, with a few life lessons along the way.

Step into our programs and you’ll find kids learning fishing and marine science
through lessons in class, on the water and online. These programs also offer a
haven for kids who are facing instability or insecurity at home.

It’s all part of our mission to inspire and educate local youth. We use fishing
and marine life to show them how to care for the environment, build confidence
and learn personal skills they can use throughout their lives.

Help us reach at-risk kids and make a lifelong impact.
