The Fishing School (TFS) offers a number of valuable learning experiences for interns to participate in. It takes a lot of behind-the-scenes efforts to launch our youth initiatives and to ensure that they are effective. This includes tracking and measuring the outcomes of what we do regularly.

Mission Statement
The Fishing School’s (TFS) mission is to provide a safe haven and academic support to underserved youth and their families in Washington, D.C. The Fishing School’s name was the vision of our founder, Tom Lewis, and comes from the adage, "If you give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will feed himself for a lifetime." By teaching young people to "fish in the rivers of their minds," TFS is changing generations
