Taking a leadership role in promoting humane values is a critical part of the Michigan Humane Society mission. Since 1925, Humane Education has been an organized, primary program of the Michigan Humane Society. MHS provides hundreds of educational tours and presentations for metro Detroit area youth each year, and the demand and need for humane education continues to increase. The MHS Humane Education program reaches approximately 20,000 students each year with an interactive and effective program that teaches children respect for all animals, safety around animals and responsible animal care while encouraging children, who have a natural connection with animals, to get involved in promoting kindness to animals.
