In this episode, Joshua and Caleb interview Jess Westbrook of The Mayfly Project. The Mayfly Project is a nonprofit organization that uses fly fishing as a catalyst to mentor children in foster care. Their mission is to support children in foster care through fly fishing and introduce them to their local water ecosystems, with a hope that connecting them to a rewarding hobby will provide an opportunity for foster children to have fun, feel supported, and develop a meaningful connection with the outdoors.
In this episode, we discuss:
-Being driven by fly fishing
-Finding healing from anxiety and trauma on the river
-Creating opportunities for foster kids to heal
-How The Mayfly Project impacts kids
-The growth of The Mayfly Project
-Connecting the most vulnerable population with some of the most passionate people
-How to get involved in The Mayfly Project
