Community Outreach
Connecting people with hunter education, conservation, and responsible outdoor traditions across Texas.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Hunter Education Beyond the Classroom
Hunter education is about more than completing a course. It helps establish a foundation of safety, responsibility, conservation, and respect for the outdoors.
Community outreach creates opportunities to share these principles with young people, families, new outdoor participants, and the communities that support Texas hunting traditions.
THEIA brings together people who care about hunter education and recognizes the valuable contributions instructors and volunteers make throughout the state.
