Humane Education

When you teach a child to be kind to animals, you pave the way to a brighter future for all living beings.

Animals benefit because the next generation will treat them with respect and compassion. Children benefit because learning compassion and empathy builds moral character, reduces violence, and strengthens their sense of empowerment and responsibility. Society as a whole benefits when members respect and care for one another, and the animals who live among us.

Napa Humane’s humane education program teaches children and adults alike how to be caring, thoughtful, respectful citizens of the world. Our programs teach people how to cultivate knowledge, responsibility, patience, trustworthiness, compassion, and a positive attitude – lessons that serve us well in every area of our lives.
