About this Event

Volunteer With The Youth Fishing League

Join us for a powerful community experience with the Youth Fishing League.

This is more than volunteering. This is about creating moments that families will remember for a lifetime.

The Youth Fishing League is building something special by introducing youth and families to fishing, outdoor wellness, and community connection in a fun, welcoming, and impactful way. Every cast, every catch, and every smile matters.

This event also serves as a special day of fishing experience at the 12th Annual Anacostia Riverfest, creating space for families to connect, celebrate, and enjoy time together outdoors in DC.

When you volunteer with us, you become part of that experience.
