The crucial mission at the heart of Project Healing Waters is not possible without the help of volunteers, whether it is teaching fly tying or fly casting, helping a Veteran on the water, or working alongside a participant as they craft a fly rod. The volunteer opportunities don’t end there, either; there are countless opportunities to help across our programs. But don’t take our word for it, hear it from one of our volunteers, and U.S. Navy Veteran, Robert Day:

“The thing I look forward to the most is seeing the growth of Veterans, who go from beginning fly tying and learning to fly fish, to having the confidence that allows them to relax and have fishing, and only fishing, on their minds while on the river. Veterans can find peace while doing Project Healing Waters activities. For some it’s concentrating on tying a fly or building their own handmade bamboo fly rod. I look forward to whatever gives them peace. That’s my reason for volunteering for Project Healing Waters.”
