What is education at PAWS?
The PAWS Education Programs are in-person! From a six-lesson program for elementary schools, live workshops at PAWS, badge programs and projects helping animals, PAWS provides experiential learning to inspire youth and adults to take compassionate action for animals. Using research-based practices, PAWS Education Programs consistently show evidence of impact on attitude and behavior changes – helping create a brighter future for animals, the people whose lives they enrich, and the world we all share.
PAWS at School
From our signature six-week Kids Who CareSM program in fourth-grade classrooms to individual class projects, PAWS provides opportunities for school children to connect with and better understand animals.
