ARF has initiated and made available to schools and organizations programs and lesson plans developed to enhance an appreciation, sensitivity, and compassion for fellow beings-animals as well as humans. Lesson plans are age specific and available at no cost. Many aspects of humane education can be adapted easily into existing lesson plans or programs.

Teachers, Educators and VOLUNTEERS are welcome to help ARF expand this program even further!

Humane education teaches compassion, empathy and respect for animals as well as people.
