Would anyone here like to help with a non profit I started to get wounded warriors, disabled veterans and SN kids into the outdoors?

Mine is called Gettin Back Outdoors and I am in Missouri. I facilitate hunts ,fishing or any outdoor activity for my "Troops" alone or with their caregiver or family depending on the event. I only do smaller stuff now to be able to focus on the healing properties of getting out and having fun without anxiety or fear. I currently help get soldiers from Ft Leonardwood WTU out on deer hunts if they are cleared to do so. I need help with people willing to take a troop out in a one on one outing, land that could be used for hunting and fishing. No volunteers hunt donated land unless it's their own land etc. equipment donated of all types,sponsorships.
Our site is http://www.gettin-back-outdoors.org

If I were you I would go to Fort Leonard Wood volunteer office I know that every class for BOLC and CCC are supposed to do volunteer projects. They may be able to assist you with partnering up with a class.

Sounds like a worthy effort. I could help. My job leaves me a reasonable amount of free time, and we have a couple of small lakes in the county for camping. They tell me the hunting is good, but I haven't tried it out yet. Looks like we have a reasonable dove population. Pheasant is slim, but seem to be coming back. Lots of "walk in" land in the county, and I work with the game warden.

Hi Darin,
We have a few hunting clubs up here in Minnesota and we regularly take wounded vets out to pheasant hunt, goose and turkey hunt. The Big Game hunt for White Tail deer is the most popular and they take these big game animals with crossbow, shotgun or rifle.
You never appreciate what you have when you can see these hunters with various impairments high fiving their guides and fellow vets after they harvest a huge turkey or whitetail.
God Bless you and your organization. Check out the groups like pheasants forever, Whitetail Hunting, Turkey Hunting Clubs. They have money available to help you get your organization going. In fact talk to the rod and gun clubs in your area and they will let you meet in their club rooms like they do for us.
