HSE Instructor (New & Existing)

Hunter Safety Education (HSE) Instructors in Oregon serve as vital volunteers with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), helping to teach and promote safe, responsible, and ethical hunting practices. These instructors deliver ODFW-approved hunter education courses that include instruction in firearm safety, hunting laws, outdoor survival, wildlife conservation, and responsible behavior in the field. Instructors lead both classroom sessions and hands-on field components such as live-fire exercises and skills demonstrations. They work with youth and adult students to ensure they understand key safety principles and legal responsibilities before heading into the field. By fostering a strong foundation in safety and conservation, instructors play a critical role in shaping the next generation of hunters and stewards of Oregon’s wildlife resources. This is a rewarding opportunity for those passionate about hunting, teaching, and giving back to their outdoor community.
