Mission Statement

Cast Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization positively impacting youth and their mentors in the Northern California community through free fly fishing experiences. Through our program, clients build mentoring relationships, fly fishing skills, outdoor knowledge, and personal values. Cast Hope's gift of fly fishing empowers each mentoring pair to grow closer as they make fly fishing a healthy hobby they can do together.

Goals

• Give kids and their mentors fun, free fly fishing experiences
• Teach the basic techniques of fly fishing
• Empower our clients to fish effectively and independently, making fly fishing their own sport
• Provide the necessary gear (rods, reels, lines, flies, etc.)
• Foster an awareness of and appreciation for the natural environment
• Create situations where kids and mentors can connect, building a deeper relationship, fun memories, and a shared hobby
• Partner with local non-profit youth organizations, supporting their mission to positively impact underprivileged and at-risk youth
• Enable people to positively impact the community by sharing their unique gifts and talents
• Share God’s love, reaching out to others through giving, encouraging, teaching, listening, caring, and having fun
• Expand Cast Hope into a retreat center/lodge where people enjoy the outdoors through fly fishing, rafting, horseback riding, hiking, and biking while staying in comfortable accommodations which include quality meals and facilities for fun, friendship, rest, reflection, and learning.
