Education Programs

Engage your students of any age with standards-based activities and support for conservation education in the field through these programs:

Archery in the Schools

Archery in the Schools Program (AIS) – part of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) – targets students as young as fourth grade and as old as high school seniors. AGFC certifies coaches and PE teachers to teach archery skills and offer tournaments for students.

Boater Education

Teachers are encouraged to become a certified Hunter and/or Boater Education instructor. AGFC will provide you training and all the materials you need to incorporate these important skills into your classroom.

Fishing in the Natural State

Curriculum and resource kits for 4th-12th grade classrooms teaching fishing, stream ecology and/or biology. Educators who attend training are eligible for kits, fishing derbies and in-class fish dissections with AGFC staff.

Growing Up Wild

This early childhood education guide helps preschool and early elementary educators build on children’s sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them.

Hunter Education

Teachers are encouraged to become a certified Hunter and/or Boater Education instructor. AGFC will provide you training and all the materials you need to incorporate these important skills into your classroom.

Stream Team

The Stream Team program is a resource to help educators and community leaders take initiative in conservation of our local waterways. Those interested can register to sponsor a Stream Team and adopt a waterway of their choice.

Wildlife Education Grants

Fines collected from game and fish citations return to the county where the offense occurred. AGFC and the Rural Services division work together to grant these funds to schools and conservation districts for conservation and outdoor education. Applications are due in October each year.
