Humane Education
There is a special magic that exists between children and animals. Many of the elements of effective character education – kindness, compassion, empathy – apply to our relationships with animals as well as people. BHA’s humane education programs strive to teach students these skills and more using animals as a platform for learning. Our programs are hands-on, interactive and fun. Lessons are available for kids of all ages and are based on Montana state academic standards.
Programs include:
- $School outreach for elementary and preschool
- $Animal afternoons for after school programs
- $Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.)

The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable, the program was well planned and it was a great idea to combine caring for animals with respect and caring for humans.
