Education & Youth Programs

Animals are a source of fascination for children of all ages, and our Humane Education programs focus on nurturing a child’s natural love and curiosity about them. Our education and youth programs inspire compassion, empathy, and respect for all living things in our community. 

We are extremely fortunate to serve a community that has so many children and youth who wish to share their time and talents in support of our animal center and we have a variety of opportunities to get your children involved.

Donation Drives

Donation drives are a fun way for children to support the center and they are always welcomed.  We’ll share our wish lists, they collect the items, and then you schedule a time for them to deliver the goods and get a tour.

DIY Projects

For those who are looking for projects that can be completed at home, in a classroom, or other settings away from the center, you can use this Service Project Booklet to make toys, beds, and other items that will be used by the animals.  There are options for all skill levels and if you'd like, we'd be happy to schedule a time for you to drop off the items and tour the center.
