Meet Kim Orren from Fishing for Success!

Kim Orren will be a speaker for our Ways to Get Involved panel at the Youth Heritage Forum on March 21st, 2026, at the Emera Innovation Exchange and Conference Centre.

Kimberly Orren is a former high school science teacher turned commercial fisherman and co-founder of Fishing for Success, a nonprofit social enterprise museum in Petty Harbour. Fishing for Success (F4S) works to transmit the intangible cultural heritage of Newfoundland & Labrador's family fishery while advocating for an inclusive, gender-equitable & sustainable small-scale fishery that can help combat climate change and contribute to food sovereignty through better local seafood access. Through collaborations with researchers and other ENGO’s, F4S is developing a Sea2School program to connect youth in coastal communities to fishing as a cornerstone of ocean literacy and food equity.

Join us to hear about volunteer and employment opportunities in the field and how to approach them. Registration is now open for the YHF, so make sure to check out the Eventbrite for more information:
