Volunteer
Donating your time is a fantastic way to invest in children with special needs so they can experience love, acceptance, and the joy of fishing!
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is not only personally rewarding, but you can make a profound impact on a child and his/her family. Our events are powered by volunteers, at various levels of commitment including: event coordinators, shore volunteers, boat captains, and many more ways you can get involved. Watch the video below to experience the fun C.A.S.T. for Kids impact an event has on everyone involved!

Check Out Major League Fishing’s Andrew Nordbye’s experience volunteering with C.A.S.T. for Kids
“I love C.A.S.T. because it is an opportunity for me to show love to kids through my passion of fishing who might not get a chance to receive this any other way. When you volunteer at an event, you are filled with gratitude and are able to fill another family with gratitude through fishing. You truly get to make an impact in other people’s lives in just a few hours of fishing. As a professional fisherman in the Major League Fishing Tackle Warehouse Invitationals circuit, fishing is business for me many times, but you cannot let that take the fun out of fishing. It is always fun for me. It is always about helping others, even in the toughest of tournaments. I enjoy fishing for every type of fish, and love getting the opportunity for others to experience the joy of fishing!”
