PAWS Education Programs

Back with In-person Learning at PAWS

After a nearly three-year break, the PAWS education team is offering Caring Creatures, PAWS for Cats and Dogs, Our Wild World, and Heroic Animal Helpers, designed to reach youth ages 5 through 13. We currently have room in all programs, and we welcome both scouts and non-scouts to participate and learn about a breadth of topics including pet care, sharing habitats with wild animals, and much more.

We have also been visiting many schools in Snohomish County through our Kids Who CareSM program, where students learn how to coexist with wild and domestic animals in their community and are motivated to take compassionate action for animals and the environment. We are covering topics ranging from pet overpopulation to spay-and-neuter, as well as human impacts on wild animals.

Students engage with animal biofacts during a Kids Who CareSM classroom session.

This summer, we are looking forward to once again offering both Preteen and Teen Workshops and will be hosting info sessions online in April. Last summer, we had great success through ten weeks of workshops focused on issues facing companion and wild animals with a heavy emphasis on service-learning to benefit animals in our communities.
