Compassion In Action (CIA)

What is the Compassion In Action (CIA) program?

If you are between the ages of 14 and 17 years old and want to help animals, come join our Compassion In Action program! During your CIA experience, you will learn about different animal-welfare topics, work on exciting service projects at the center and socialize special animal guests! Additionally, we will help you complete an outreach project of your choice.

At the conclusion of this program, you will have completed 18 + hours of service, which education staff will sign off on.
