The Fishing School is a nationally-recognized youth development organization serving young people and their families in Washington, D.C. Through out-of-school time programming, we provide our youth with supplemental academic instruction, targeted tutoring, homework assistance, test preparation, life skills training, recreation and cultural enrichment activities.
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 young people to fish in the rivers of their minds, The Fishing School is changing generations. Since 1990, our academic after-school and summer programs have helped more than 3,000 youth and their families to overcome socioeconomic barriers and to reach for their dreams.
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF CHANGING LIVES!
On Saturday, October 16, 2010 The Fishing School is celebrating our historic 20th anniversary at Nationals Park for an event themed Field of Dreams. The evening is a tribute to The Fishing School and the many people who have made it possible for us to carry out our life transforming work over the last 20 years. The evening is also a tribute to our founder's vision and relentless dedication that has driven The Fishing School to become one of the most accomplished after-school and summer programs for youth in Washington, D.C.
