Youth Camps and Programs

At the Nebraska Humane Society, we utilize humane education to reinforce character development skills, such as kindness, compassion, empathy, and responsibility. From caring for family pets to preventing animal suffering, we want youth, their classmates and their families to take an active role in providing hope to animals in our community.
