MID-ATLANTIC YOUTH ANGLERS & OUTDOORS PARTNERS 

Advising Outdoor Partners. Developing Programs. Training and Educating Diverse Audiences.
 

Our mission is to grow diverse participation in outdoors and conservation activities by introducing and training urban, suburban, and rural area youth and their supporting adults in the "STEM education path" of fishing, birding, archery, hunting heritage, agriculture, equine, conservation, and wildlife education activities. 

Our activities utilize the diverse outdoor and educational resources of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New

York, Delaware, Maryland, and Maine. Our Mid-Atlantic Youth Anglers operation has become part of

the team of Legacy Land & Water Partners headquartered in Cochranville, Southern Chester County, PA

(www.LegacyLandWater.org). Our outdoors training activities have now combined with Legacy's land

protection activities that are focused on preserving wildlife habitats and open spaces on the

Underground Railroad trails.

Thanks for all the continued support to bring back the "Bass Elite" tournament or one of the major TV fishing tournaments from our hosting of the Delaware River Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament (PA, NJ, DE)!  We could not say it any better than this:

 

"I can't really explain what all happened in Philly on the Delaware River. I think it was the greatest fishing event I have ever attended and that could include the Bassmaster Classics as well. It really was because of the people from that area and I guess you just had to be there. Sure glad I got to experience it and thank you Philadelphia."
- The late Jerry McKinnis, Former President of Bassmaster
