What is Humane Education?
Humane Education is about learning to respect life in our homes, communities and the environment. It encourages kindness and empathy for both human and nonhuman animals, and promotes understanding of our many diverse habitats. Most importantly, humane education strives to establish a sense of responsibility, making the world a better, more humane place.The Need for Humane Education in Georgia
Thousands of unwanted pets are euthanized every month. Animal cruelty is too common, often perpetuated by young people. Violence and bullying in our schools is a serious problem. Humane Education programs address these issues and stimulates critical thinking about solutions.GCHE Team Members

Testimonials
Some of the feedback we've received:
From a counselor at Oakcliff Traditional Theme School
“As a part of our curriculum on safety, I
invited Debra Berger and the crew from the Georgia Center for Humane
Education (GCHE) to come talk to our students about animal safety. They
excited our students and provided an engaging lesson on animal safety.
Our students were taught how to approach an unfamiliar animal as well as
how to demonstrate to the animal that they are not a threat to them.
The students left the assembly singing an incredibly catchy tune that
reinforced the lesson. The presenters were well versed in animal
safety.”
From the Apple Academy
“Thank you for your visit to The Apple
Academy this afternoon. The children were very excited about your
presentation. Later, the children used the coloring pages you left to
create comic strips on taking care of pets during the summer months.”
From a third grader at Dunwoody Springs (Career Day Curriculum)
"Thank you for teaching us about your
job. Do you want to know what I am going to be when I grow up? I am
going to be... a lawyer for animals. Sincerely, Kathy."
