Teaching just got easier with the Hawaiian Humane Society’s free humane education curriculum. Compassion and Responsibility Education (CARE) is designed to provide curriculum ideas and lesson plans to implement humane education in the classroom.
Activities are interactive and serve to inspire youth to be animal advocates and responsible pet owners, as well as to demonstrate compassion, empathy, and respect in all aspects of their lives. Lessons are designed to encourage participation and provide opportunities for youth to serve their school or community.
CARE is offered free-of-charge to all Oahu educators. Complete the CARE Request Form to get started.
