Community Program Partners

We are a proud Learn24 Partner. They have supported our program for many years. We rely on them for training support, program guidance, essential funding, and much more. We are grateful to have Learn24 as a vital community partner.

We work with partner organizations to deliver our programs, recruit talented staff, and support our operations. With their commitment, our youth gain the skills to own their futures, become productive members in their communities, and grow academically. If you are interested in becoming a partner, please contact our Executive Director, Leo Givs.

School Partners

The Fishing School partners with DC Public Schools, independent schools, and public charter schools to deliver our programming. Our current sites are:

• Drew Elementary School
• C.W. Harris Elementary School

In addition to providing program space and enrollment support, partner schools provide access to student performance data, and TFS Instructors work with school-day teachers so that we can tailor our instructions as needed.

These partnerships supply a steady flow of trained professionals while preparing university students for a career in youth development.

Corporate and community partners support our programmatic elements, assist with school-wide projects, expose students to different types of jobs, and donate supplies.
