What do you like to do in your free time?

Why do you want to serve on the Youth Leadership Council? Why will you be a good spokesperson for your age group on conservation?

I wanted to be on the NYLC, because I think it would be a good experience. I like to help out kids at local fishing tournaments and hunters education. I think I was a good spokesperson for my age group, because I think that kids will listen to people their own age more than they will some adults. I also think that getting kids outdoors is the most important factor for the future of hunting and conservation. Without youth getting outdoors conservation and hunting will be a thing of the past.
