The Future of Hunting Depends on YOU!
Every year, thousands of volunteer hours make the Texas Youth Hunting Program (TYHP) a success. We need dedicated individuals like you to help create life-changing experiences for young hunters.
Ways You Can Volunteer:
Assist with Hunt Operations – Help ensure safe and successful youth hunts. Cook for Participants – Keep our hunters and volunteers fueled. Firearm Instruction & Range Supervision – Teach firearm safety and handling. Lead Outdoor Education – Share your knowledge and love of the outdoors. Serve as a Guide – Help youth navigate the land and their hunting experience. Provide Medical Support – First aid knowledge is invaluable on hunts.
Become a Huntmaster!
Huntmasters are trained volunteers who take on leadership roles during youth hunts.
Huntmasters may assist in various ways on a hunt. Lead Huntmasters (certified by experienced mentors) coordinate and manage youth hunt.
