EDUCATION AT UNITY FARM SANCTUARY
In addition to providing a safe and lifelong home for farm animals, an important part of Unity Farm Sanctuary's mission is promoting a culture of kindness and connection through Humane Education. We are happy to offer a diverse array of educational programs for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, which you can read about in the following pages. Keep checking back, as we have many new opportunities in the works set to launch in the coming months!
Calling all farm animal lovers in middle and high school! We were thrilled to launch many new on-site programs just for you in Fall 2020 and will be bringing them back in Spring 2021: Unity Animal Care Club (middle school), Building a Kinder World for Animals (middle school), and Introduction to Animal Welfare & Ethics (high school).
On-site tours are back, and virtual tours continue! Tours can be tailored to the needs of your school group, organization, or company.
