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. 

Please Note: Due to the overwhelming requests for programs from the Humane Education Department, we will no longer be booking Pre-school or Kindergarten classes. Our programs are offered to children from the 1st grade and up. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your support!

For a current list of programs being offered please contact the Humane Educator Coordinator, thank you!

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.
