Berkshire Humane Society

Four-Legged Lessons from the Humane Society. Bring the Humane Society to your school. Berkshire Humane Society will come to a homeschooling group or homeschooling groups can visit the Society. Through the Classroom Education Program, a BHS representative will do an hour-long presentation on "how to be a responsible pet owner" and "what it means to be a humane being." The program is made age-appropriate for each particular class/group. Classes teach students about fostering responsibility, building a sense of family and community, empathy, problem-solving, while creating a sense of self-worth. Educational programs are offered FREE of charge to all elementary schools and homeschooling groups in Berkshire County.
