Default I need help in Eastern Ohio.

Hey guys I'm gonna do a little reaching out here. This could be long so consider yourself warned. First I'll get to the point. My 14yonephew moved to the Canton/Akron area and doesn't have anyone to take him hunting. His dad doesn't hunt nor does anyone else in his family up there. Is there anyone that might have time to take this kid to the woods?
Last year Tanner killed his first deer. He shot a mature doe. He also killed his first 'yote. He wants to continue hunting but it doesn't look like he will have an opportunity without some help. Tanner is a gun hunter but I'm posting this here because I feel like I have more friends on this forum. Or do any of you guys know of an organization we could contact that might be able to help him get out there? We would be happy to help with any expenses that might come up although he doesn't need some big guided/outfitted hunt. The chance to kill a doe on public land would be great.
If any of you guys or gals can help please let me know. Thank you!
Here is a pic of Tanner with his doe from last year.

I'm a little ashamed that there hasn't been more support for this.

Some more info would be helpful:

Where is his state residency? (ohio...?)
Is he hunter safety qualified?
Does he have his own usable gun?
Is it going to be a big deal if he misses a day or two of school?

My closest opportunity is in Keyser, WV (240 miles from him and and 340 from me).

Not sure if this will help but I found this link on the Ohio DNR website...here is the link to all the public land spots in Southeastern Ohio.
