The PAWS Education Team is here to support kids of all ages in taking action for animals.
Completing a service project is a great way to support the lifesaving work at PAWS while empowering kids to make a difference and fostering their natural compassion for animals. Contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in completing a youth project and we can discuss how we may be able to support you.
