The Humane Society of Broward County
is proud to partner with the following organizations that nurture and
inspire the young people in our community:
Junior Achievement Thanks to a sponsorship from Wayne and Marti Huizinga, the Humane Society of Broward County has a state-of-the-art storefront at Junior Achievement of South Florida's JA World BizTown. BizTown is an interactive "town" that welcomes thousands of Broward County 5th graders to visit and learn about and practice being members of a business community. Students can "work" at the Humane Society's "shelter" to find homes for virtual animals. The students practice their bookkeeping and "cash" handling skills when members of the student community visit the virtual shelter to adopt pets, purchase merchandise, and even make donations! The Girl Scouts of Southeast Broward Do you know that the Humane Society of Broward County has our very own patch for Girl Scouts to earn? Our "No Bones About It" pet care patch, initiated in 1998, has helped to teach tens of thousands of Girl Scouts all over the United States about pet care and pet responsibility. There are four levels of patches for girls to earn: Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadette/Senior. At each level, the girls do a number of fun educational activities to learn about pets. Safety around animals, the needs of pets, pet overpopulation, and the importance of having proper identification on pets are just a few of the subjects the girls learn about.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County The Humane Society of Broward County has partnered with several locations of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County over the years, allowing us to teach thousands of kids from low-income areas important lessons about staying safe around dogs, pet care, and being responsible pet parents. Having positive interactions with animals is important because many of the kids have only been exposed to growling, chained-up dogs and stray cats. We teach the kids that animals are feeling beings that deserve kindness and compassion and that they give a lot in return if we let them into our lives.
