Volunteers are a crucial part of a successful Trout in the Classroom program, because they support the teachers. Trout in the Classroom gives Trout Unlimited members and other volunteers the opportunity to get involved with their local schools, while teaching kids about water quality, aquatic life, and other environmental issues.
