Certified Humane Education Specialist (CHES) Testimonials

The courses engaged me. The content provided real, applicable material. I was riveted by Power in Numbers: The Basics of Forming a Youth Animal Protection Club and cannot wait to implement a teen program for our organization.
-Chick Barnes, Founder
 Cat-Dances Farm

By using advice from the courses I have had much larger school participation than I did last year as a Humane Educator. The principals and teachers are far more willing to let me come into the schools when I am helping them meet required state standards.
-Erin Vannorsdel
Humane Educator, Kamuela, HI

This has been a very inspiring programthe method of teaching was very helpful, especially with the lesson plans. The advice was full of useful and relevant information and I feel I have a much better understanding of humane education, forming youth clubs, creating service-learning projects, and developing relationships with teachers and schools. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone working in the field of humane education. Thank you for providing such an incredible course series!

Simon Says, "Let's Be Kind to Animals!" imparted a great deal of knowledge about the development and likes and dislikes of preschoolers. The course integrated understanding of child development and animal protection knowledge in a practical way. The course provided food for thought!
