Virtual Youth Fish and Wildlife Club

Connect With Us & Online Friends

Calling all inquisitive explorers, young anglers, brilliant biologists, future fish nerds, and generally nature-curious kiddos! We provide a friendly, online space for kids to ask questions and learn about fish and wildlife, meet professional and learn about careers, and gain knowledge about outdoor preparedness. Each week brings familiar faces and new guests and topics. Similar to our in-person Youth Fish and Wildlife Club, we see value in face-to-face time with kids who want to learn. Not everyone can visit our National Wildlife Refuges or Fish Hatcheries in person but we can bring them to you, wherever you are. To that end, we host open public Zooms every Wednesday featuring guests and fish and wildlife-related topics. Programming is geared towards youth ages 8-12 but all are welcome, including younger kiddos and curious adults. Virtual ASL Interpretation is available on request.
