Fall 2016: The After School Program

The goal of this program is to help students gain insight into different issues related to animal welfare. Through hands-on activities, group discussions, and lectures from professionals in various animal-related fields, youth will explore issues and learn what they can do to make a difference in the lives of animals, people in their community, and beyond. While the After School Program focuses on specific themes related to animal welfare, select topics within each theme will be guided by participating youth, making each session of ASP unique. Participants are expected to come to each class ready to contribute, think critically, and be actively engaged in discussions and activities. Throughout this program, participants will work on an animal advocacy project either individually or in small groups. On the last day, youth will present these projects to family and friends at the culminating event, "The After School Jam." *** The fall 2016 session runs October 4 - November 29. Classes meet at The Anti-Cruelty Society’s Education and Training Center (169 W. Grand Ave.) every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. for eight weeks. Prospective participants must submit an application and go through an interview process to be considered for participation.
