Humane Education in the Classroom

 

Grades K-12

 

OHS's Humane Educators visit public and private schools throughout the tri-county area (surrounding Portland) to give humane education presentations - ensuring compassion for animals is as an important a part of the curriculum as math or science. Focusing on elementary through high school, our educators give age specific presentations on topics including safety around animals, pet care, and the importance of spaying or neutering your pet, animal-related careers, dogs with jobs, and animal welfare issues.

To schedule classroom presentations, please fill out our Classroom Presentation Request Form.

 

Since 1921, the state of Oregon requires (ORS 336.067) humane education be added to the school curriculum so students develop an appreciation for all animal life and are taught humane treatment. Through the generosity of OHS's donors, this service is provided free of charge to schools.
