Campaign Spotlight: Humane Education

Nathan Runkle March 18, 2010

This week’s campaign spotlight is on MFA’s Humane Education program. Teaching students to have empathy for animals is perhaps the most effective, long-lasting and substantial way to build a more compassionate world. With flexible programs that can be tailored to fit the specific curricular or topical needs and interests of any audience, MFA’s humane educators have been cultivating kindness for animals at high schools and college classrooms, conferences, community organizations and other venues around the country for years.

In addition to helping to stimulate the moral development of our nation’s youth, MFA’s highly acclaimed humane education presentations encourage critical thinking about social justice issues and inspire students of all ages to make more humane, sustainable and healthy food choices. Focusing on topics ranging from how a plant-based diet can help prevent disease to the progress and future of creating legal protections for farmed animals, MFA’s humane education presentations empower students to make a positive difference in their own lives, their local communities and the world around them.

Learn more about MFA’s Humane Education program and the wide variety of thought-provoking presentations available.
