The Association’s chapters have participated and supported for years the Youth Angling Enhancement Program (YAEP) sponsored by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation.  Designed to introduce youth to the fun of fishing, the program offers a host of fishing opportunities at stocked ponds throughout the state. On-site volunteers provide equipment, teach children how to bait and cast, and help kids "reel in" their catch. The program provides a unique opportunity for children to learn how to fish and discover just how much fun it can be!

More information on the program can be found on the ODFW website by clicking on http://www.dfw.state.or.us/outdoor_skills/yaep.asp.
