Kids CARE Club (Creating a Responsible Environment) is a program series for animal lovers ages 5-9 and their families to learn how to make a positive difference in the lives of pets and wildlife.
Our goal is to educate kids on how to advocate for animals in their community through hands-on activities, guest speakers, crafts, and more! Caregivers must attend along with their children. AWLA offers Kids C.A.R.E. Club at no cost to families, however donations to our Humane Education fund are appreciated and help us to provide more children's programs like these.
