About Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation
For the past 25 years, Daniel Hernandez has been hosting and producing his weekly television fishing series “Sport Fishing with Dan Hernandez.” His experience in sport fishing and the desire to share the excitement of the sport with young people led to the establishment of the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation, a 501 c(3) non-Profit organization in 2001.
Each year, the Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation holds free kids fishing events at city lakes and saltwater fishing trips throughout California.
The Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation uses fishing to build youths self-esteem and self-confidence, working to ensure that every child gets an opportunity to experience the thrill of sport fishing and a basic introduction in the marine sciences
The Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation has a proven track record of bringing the youth of California together for an exciting day of fishing at city lakes and on the ocean. The Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation has been working with youths since its inception and has reached over 10,000 youths to date. Our lake programs gather over 250-300 registered kids to each event.
The Daniel Hernandez Youth Foundation is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of youth from our underserved communities.
