March After School Club

March After School Club is for students in grades 2-5. It begins on Thursday, March 7 and runs every following Thursday until March 28, 2024.

During Club meetings, led by our Youth Programs coordinator, students will dive deeper into animal care by occasionally volunteering at the Adoption Center, making crafts, playing games, and generally decompressing from the day. Students will also be able to hang out with some of our Youth Programs pets and have a tour of our Adoption Center!

We`re celebrating May as Mental Health Awareness Month by highlighting the benefits of pet ownership for our mental wellbeing! Caring for an animal can make our lives happier and healthier by giving us meaning, helping us to relax, and so much more. We call it the power of pets!
