Youth Programs
Kindness, compassion, respect and responsibility – are these qualities you’d like to teach your students? Join us for interactive and informative programs that teach these qualities while relating them to the companion animals in our lives. Through stories, games, role-playing and discussion students consider what these qualities mean and how they can incorporate them into their lives. Choose from a variety of topics that easily fit into your current curriculum. Some of our topics are listed below.
