Kids C.A.R.E. Club (Creating a Responsible Environment) is a free program series for animal lovers ages 4–10 and their families. Through fun, hands-on learning, kids discover how to make a positive impact in the lives of both pets and wildlife.

With activities, guest speakers, crafts, and more, participants will learn how to keep animals safe, explore different animal species, and build skills to connect with animals in compassionate and responsible ways. Our goal is to inspire young advocates who care deeply about animals and their communities.
Kids C.A.R.E. Club meets on the third Thursday of each month.

Caregivers must attend alongside their children. While the program is offered at no cost, donations to our Humane Education Fund are always appreciated and help us continue offering family programs like this.
