Classroom

The Outreach Team delivers presentations on a variety of themes.  Docents and staff integrate specific humane education messages in all outreach programs.  The messages are framed in the concept that there are exciting animals all around the world, including in our own homes and backyards.  Docents and staff convey the message that all living creatures – human and non-human – have similar basic needs. The Society’s school programs use a variety of teaching strategies, including audio-visual presentations, storytelling, and puppets.

The Society participates in the Detroit Public Library’s Summer Reading program, an opportunity that serves hundreds of children in the Detroit Metropolitan area.
