Humane Action League is an after-school program at the Animal Welfare Society. Students spend an 1 1/2 hours after school once a week for seven weeks with the humane educator. The program is designed to give students who love animals an opportunity to learn more about the workings of an animal shelter and an introduction on how to become more involved in animal welfare issues. At the start of the program the students will create and sign an agreement with each other about acceptable behaviors, as well as goals for the seven weeks. Registration for each program opens one month before the start date and is first-come, first-served. Workshop space is limited.
