Starting a Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Program
PHWFF will help you through the start-up process and beyond, but here are the basic steps involved in starting a program.
- Contact the Regional Coordinator for your area who will provide you with the Program Guide and other documents related to getting started, as well as contact information, support and advice. A list of Regional Coordinators is available on the Contact Us page.
- Confirm that your fishing club is willing to supply the volunteers.
- Sign the Memorandum of Agreement to become part of the national organization.
- Educate yourselves about Project Healing Waters so that you can make an effective presentation to the military or VA hospital/facility in your area.
- Once they agree to host it, you next recruit participants and agree on a mutually acceptable schedule of classes and events.
