Our curriculum experts have developed an extensive portfolio of teaching tools for diverse educational settings. These teaching resources include an engaging game for kids and more than 200 lesson plans that enable teachers to seamlessly incorporate humane education into their classroom curricula. HEART's free resources are distributed through a variety of digital channels and teaching platforms that allow us to scale our efforts efficiently.

The Compassionate Communities Awards program takes a district-wide approach to integrating humane education in schools. Students create action plans and organize service-learning projects that foster a school community of kindness, stewardship, and respect. Schools compete for cash prizes awarded for the most effective projects positively impacting people, animals, and the environment within and beyond the school community.

Our staff works directly with K-12 students in schools, youth organizations, and summer camps to cultivate compassion and teach about animal protection, social justice, and environmental preservation. HEART’s instructors have directly taught over 50,000 students nationwide, including New York, Chicago, Indianapolis, San Diego, Detroit, Portland (Oregon), Madison (Wisconsin), and other regions.

Through workshops and online presentations, HEART has trained hundreds of teachers nationwide to deliver education programs that effectively foster compassion in classroom and community settings. We provide training workshops and professional development through a network of strategic partners, including the Volunteers of America Head Start Program and the NYC Department of Education.
