AGFC Launches New Volunteer Program to Aid High School Students

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) has initiated a new volunteer program designed to help high school students fulfill their community service requirements. This program aims to engage students in various conservation-related activities, providing them with meaningful experiences and valuable community service hours.

The AGFC volunteer program allows high school students to participate in a range of activities, from organized trail cleanups to assisting at fishing derbies and archery tournaments. By doing so, students not only fulfill their graduation requirements but also gain hands-on experience in conservation efforts. The program is seen as a significant opportunity for students to build their skills and enhance their resumes as they prepare for future educational and professional endeavors.

Partnership with Schools and Community

School districts interested in participating in the program can register on the AGFC website to be endorsed for youth volunteer opportunities. Teachers, parents, and students can request their school administrators to fill out the necessary forms, ensuring that resources such as transportation are considered. The AGFC staff will then evaluate and coordinate volunteer opportunities to match the needs of both the students and the agency.
