This project is fully funded

My Project

There is a wide range of careers in animal care, from veterinarians to animal behaviorists, and emphasize how these jobs contribute to the welfare of animals and the environment.

In this CTE class I plan on creating a hands-on learning experiences where students can interact with animal care professionals and learn about the tools and skills needed to succeed in these careers.

With your support, we can provide much-needed resources for these students by ensuring that young students gain a deeper understanding of the essential roles in animal care. My hope is this class will spark curiosity, compassion, and a sense of responsibility for the animals that share our world.
