Advocating the benefits of the human-animal bond.
GCHE staff members have volunteered for many years in Humane Education, Character Education, and animal protection. The cumulative experience acquired by staff members has led them to see the need for a centralized resource for Humane Education.
*What is Humane Education?
At its most basic level, humane education is about learning to care for the animals in our homes and communities. It is about fostering kindness, respect and empathy for both human and nonhuman animals, and looking after the environment and its diverse habitats. Unlike science and other academic disciplines, humane education has a philosophical component that strives to establish a sense of responsibility and make the world a better, more humane place.
