Program Goals

This goal of this program is to improve social skills and empathy in children while also boosting their confidence. The program teaches them important leadership and problem-solving skills. Our goal is to help them alleviate anxiety and learn safe and effective methods to improve their coping mechanisms. Not only does this program give the children first-hand experience of responsibility over an animal, it also guides them in managing the challenging behaviors they face at home and at school.
