We're here to support you.
The Humane Education Coalition team is thinking of all of you as our world responds to the coronavirus (COVID-19). We know this is an uncertain and challenging time, and we remain committed to supporting our partners, educators, parents, and young people while schools are closed and families are self-isolating with children.
The following resource list contains FREE lessons, activities, videos, trainings, and online gatherings with a comprehensive humane education focus. We will add new resources as they become available, so please check back often! If you have a resource to share, please email details to info@hecoalition.org.
