aquatic (viP) Volunteer instructor program
Volunteering with LDWF’s Aquatic Volunteer Instructor Program is a great opportunity for anyone interested in sharing their passion for Louisiana’s aquatic resources.
Whether you want to hold your own fishing event, incorporate fisheries science into your classroom, or even assist LDWF at our events, Aquatic VIP will help you prepare. We train aquatic volunteer instructors through a hands-on workshop on topics including knot tying, basic tackle, casting techniques, fish identification, fish anatomy, invasive species, fisheries management, and fishing safety. All workshop participants will have access to activity guides, lesson plans, and other educational resources.
As an aquatic volunteer instructor, you will play a critical role in helping LDWF promote fishing in Louisiana. Even if you aren’t a highly experienced angler, you can attend one of our workshops where you’ll learn how to teach about fishing and fisheries science.
