Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh is offering fun and exciting in-school programs at no cost for Title 1 schools!

Our organization, which cares for both domestic and wild animals at our two animal shelters and wildlife rehabilitation center, offers in-school educational programs. These programs are designed as classroom or assembly-style with a digital presentation along with visual aids, teaching tools, and sometimes, an animal guest. 

Through these programs, we create lifelong learners, give students tools to positively engage with the animals around them, and expose them to the breadth of animal-related careers. 

While our funding prioritizes Title 1 Schoolwide program schools, where more than 40% of students are eligiblefor free or reduced lunch, we do not want cost to be a barrier for learning. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
