Partner with
Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors!

If you and/or your organization are wanting to help get more kids the chance to enjoy the outdoors that we all know and love, please consider partnering with Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors, Inc.

Basically, we need two things.

1. Financial Resources.
2. Volunteers.

Like every non-profit organization, we need the financial resources that will allow us to continue the work we are doing. Operational expenses, overhead, and events all require $$'s to make it happen.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation were the first to step forward with financial assistance to help get the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors program rolling in 2002, contributing a combined $400,000 to-date. Pheasants Forever chapters have supported the program on a local basis in Kansas, donating over $30,000 to-date. The RMEF PAC has donated over $15,000 and the NWTF has donated $7,500 in Kansas. It takes this and much more to allow us to begin expanding the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors program on a nation-wide scale.

And we need volunteers. We need volunteers who will step up and become mentors. And we need volunteers who can assist with scheduling/planning/hosting events that will allow us to give children opportunities to learn about and experience the outdoors.

For example,

• the Custom Rod Builders Guild has members across the country who are volunteering to hold fishing rod building classes for our matches.
• Pheasants Forever chapters are inviting BBBS Littles and matches to participate in mentor hunts.
• The National Wild Turkey Federation is offering free JAKES memberships to BBBS Littles interested in the outdoors.
• Outfitters and guides like Tim Telinde from Tallgrass Outfitters hosts a youth hunt for BBBS Littles.
• Dan Bell from Bell Wildlife Services has hosted a youth turkey hunt for the last four years, providing wonderful memories for both the Bigs and Littles involved.
• Charlie Stowe has hosted matches for an afternoon of striper fishing on Lake Texhoma.
• The Z Bar Ranch has hosted deer hunts and fishing trips for the last five years. The Texas Womens Shooting Sports hosts a youth day for kids in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
