Because of its compelling mission and achievements, The Fishing School was chosen for ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and received a new, state-of-the-art facility in August 2009. The philosophy of The Fishing School is inspired by the adage, "If you give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will feed himself for a lifetime." By teaching youth to fish in the rivers of their minds, The Fishing School is changing generations.
We're having a VIRTUAL VIEWING PARTY! Celebrate the success and spread the word about this youth development organization serving DC public school students.
