Forever Homes for Paws provides two programs for youth aimed at grades K-5 (Kids for Paws) and grades 6-12 (Student Ambassadors for Paws). Both include an in-depth, multi-month training and participation program to teach kids the value of teamwork, participation, compassion to animals, and other valuable skills related to pet care, ownership, fostering, and adoption.
