Larimer Humane Society now offers free educational classes to
students, teachers and community groups, ages 5 and older. Our
year-round programs are available throughout Larimer County, Berthoud
and Windsor. We have both shelter tours, and customized outreach
programs. Please contact us with your ideas!
“People are often heard to say that they are concerned about the
kind of world we will leave to our grandchildren, and I am one of them.
But I am equally concerned about what kind of grandchildren we shall
leave to the world.” -John Hoyt

Humane education is the process by which one learns to value, respect
and care about the people, animals and environment around them. All of
our lessons are based on these and other character concepts, such as
safety, citizenship and personal responsibility. Choose from a variety
of topics that could fit into your current curriculum and may also
match Colorado Model Content Standards for science, reading, civics and
more.
Our educational programs last about one hour and are free of charge to the public. Our programs are offered to children from the 1st grade and up. Our Humane Educator will come to your school (with live animals if appropriate). A teacher is required to be present during the presentation.
We do accept
monetary donations for this service, which will go toward the care we
provide to the homeless animals in our community. If your group would
like to collect supplies to help Larimer Humane Society, please view our wish list .

We are very excited about the establishment of a formal partnership
between Larimer Humane Society and the Poudre School District. Through this partnership,
we hope to expand Larimer Humane Society's involvement in youth education, and to
establish a link between the students and their community. We also help scout troops work on badges.
