New Angles to Success

New Angles to Success is a mentoring program which offers Stockton students training on the Hooked on Fishing not on Drugs curriculum and fish biology and angling skills, ecology, stewardship, sea-to-table, food security, ecotourism, and life skills. Our trained Stockton students will then become valuable mentors to children in grades 5 and 6 from the Atlantic City school district.
