Background

While national and state fishing campaigns focus on increasing the participation of women in the sport of fishing, and research shows mothers are continually looking for outdoor activities to engage their children; New Jersey Fish & Wildlife seeks to be a leader in this initiative. Sisters Afield strives to remove perceived barriers for women, focusing on women with children who come from ethnically diverse backgrounds. Generally, events are rain or shine, except where stated. Deadlines to register for each event are firm, no exceptions.

Program Overview

The goal of the program is to foster interest and gain a meaningful comfort level with fishing among women of color with children. While this program focuses on women of color, all interested women with children are welcome.

• Are you interested in learning to fish,
  but not sure how to get started?
• Do you want more control over the quality
  of food your family can enjoy?
• Do you want to be more self-reliant when
  it comes to feeding your family?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, join the program.
