Volunteers are vital to the success of The Eddie Eagle
GunSafe® Program. With the dedication and effort of our
volunteers, Eddie Eagle's lifesaving message has reached an average
of a million children each year since the program's inception in
1988.
As volunteers, our goal is to reach every child with Eddie's
lifesaving message and establish permanent use of the program
throughout the country. Volunteers prosper in a multitude of
functions such as instructors or promoters, generating interest in
the Eddie Eagle Program throughout their community.
