Animals for Awareness touches over 20,000 people each year, and that figure is growing! Some presentations are scheduled for private individuals and include events such as block parties, birthday parties, family reunions, and graduations. But many humane education programs are presented at large events such as festivals, open houses, church picnics, animal control education, and company picnics. Organizations such as boy scouts, girl scouts, schools, and nursing homes also utilize the services of AFA. In addition to standard humane education presentations, Animals for Awareness is also involved in pet therapy, scouting badge acquisitions, and conservation discussions.
Below is a small sample of the larger organizations Animals for Awareness has presented for in the past. Many clients ask us back yearly or several times a year! Every presentation is unique! We must be doing something right!
