Humane Education

The goal of PFA’s Humane Education Program is to engage school-age youths in age-appropriate discussions on topics that relate to how we interact with each other, with animals, and with our environment.

The program, Living Harmoniously with Animals, aligns with NJ Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) and includes critical thinking, collaboration, personal safety, problem solving, making the right choices and how we can be agents of change.  We encourage students to think critically, focusing on kindness and social responsibility.  Our volunteer and staff facilitators visit classrooms, youth camps and other venues to present curricula and activities that are designed by experienced professional educators.  We also host tours at our clinic for the students, allowing them to see humane work in action.
