Youth Sponsors?

[cg21]

I have two young kids that are very into shooting sports. A lot of them….. everything from air rifle and archery to muzzleloading and trap. Main focus being modern and muzzleloading trap. They are good (8&11) so when I say good it is good for their age. We homeschool, so it is difficult to get grants and join teams.

I know there are kids getting sponsored / grants / free programs I am curious if anyone on here either has a child that is sponsored (or themselves) or do you sponsor kids? if so what do you look for or ask of the child?

Kind of in the beginning stages of this thought just wondering if anyone on here has been down this road already maybe could give some insight?

thanks!

I know of two programs, ATA Aim and Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation. Find a Trap Club that has these programs. You'll still have to pay some money, but most provide free or reduce target fees and maybe free shells.

Looking into 4h, American legion, aim, Nmlra, archery clubs etc.

My kids had sponsorships but they weren’t free. The sponsors they had expected a fair bit from them and in turn took care of them. Now that they are adults they have more helpers than sponsors. Folks that send some ammo or if they need something small it shows up. Good people in the shooting sports.
Maybe look into joining a local youth program and offer to put some work in writing grants. That’s how my youth program started.
