It is a great idea if you have the time and resources to do it.

As far as liability is concerned, have the parents around when the kids are practicing and have both the kids and the parents sign a release of liability that pretty much holds you harmless. You don't want to be sued by the kid or parents if the kid shoots himself/herself in the foot. I definitely wouldn't take the kids out in the woods until everybody felt comfortable with it. Once you feel like you are getting along with the kids and the parents, start offering to take them on some hunts.

I have thought about taking kids hunting, but just don't know where to get a list of kids that want to hunt. Plus, I am always worried that it will be one of those bad days where nothing is killed or shot at. I hate when I have a beginner with me and that sort of thing happens. It feels worse than when it just happens to me, my dad, and the dog.
