Amber and Hannah love volunteering

Have you ever volunteered while doing something you love? As a high schooler in John Glenn Archery Club, you can help other people learn to shoot a bow.

The John Glenn Archery Club is a non-profit organization run by a board of parents. A group of middle shoolers and parents go hunting with high school students that help them in shooting.

Amber Romero, 17-years-old, reported, “I love being with a bunch of fun people and going out in the woods.” One of Romero’s friend, Hannah Fischer, also noted, “I like being outside in nature, it’s relaxing.”

The archery club goes hunting at Wilder Foundation in Stillwater, MN. They also go to the Wildlife Science center property by Wyoming, MN.

“I began hunting in 7th grade. I love hunting white tail deer, squirrel and bow fishing carp,” said Romero.

As a mentor, the high schoolers are in charge of making sure the younger students don’t put themselves in danger. Mentors choose three weekends to participate in and if there is room they can attend more. Contact a board member at www.jgcap.org.

At the end of the interview Romero commented on whether using a bow or a gun for hunting. Her response was this, “Bow hunting takes more skill and dedication and that’s why I love bow hunting.”
