We will be suspending on-site and off-site visits until further notice during the COVID-19 Pandemic Restrictions
Our in-school programs presented in the classroom meet the needs of age groups from kindergarten to 8th grade. Our programs pertain to a variety of topics and can be customized to fit your needs, typically running between 30 and 60 minutes. Whenever possible, we bring a live animal guest!
As part of our mission, we provide educational visits free of charge.

Classroom lessons can be adjusted upon request.
K- Grade 2: The Basics of Pet Care – students learn about their pet’s basic needs, as well as the importance of safety around animals.
Grades 3 – 5: Respecting animals – students learn the importance of the human-animal bond and why proper animal treatment is very important.
Grades 6 – 8: Pet Overpopulation – students will learn about the issue of pet overpopulation, its root cause and possible solutions.
All lessons can be easily modified to accommodate any size group, including an entire auditorium. Larger presentations typically run 45 minutes to one hour.
We are always looking for ways to improve upon our services. Please contact us with any suggestions or if you’d like to help: outreach@awanj.org
