Educational Kids Group Volunteering

At LCHS, we place a significant emphasis on the importance of Humane Education. We are dedicated to providing age-appropriate learning activities tailored to various groups of children. These activities are designed to impart knowledge about animal sheltering, as well as proper animal care and respectful interaction.

It’s important to note that our educational programs can accommodate groups of up to 10 children, ensuring an enriching and personalized learning experience. We kindly request that all participants be over 6 years of age.

Join us in nurturing a sense of empathy, responsibility, and compassion toward animals in the younger generation. Let’s embark on this educational journey together, shaping a more informed and caring future.

To inquire about bringing a group of kids to LCHS please reach out to Kat at kmartineau@lchsmontana.org
