The OwnUpSA Consortium Programs Task Force sponsored a workshop on Humane Education and Service Learning on February 13, 2009. The workshop was hosted by the Humane Society SPCA of Bexar County.
The workshop was presented by Jennifer Dragotta, the Assistant Director of Humane Education at the ASPCA. Dr. Kimberly Barker, Texas A&M Kingsville at San Antonio, gave an update on the Service Learning initiative that she is leading with 5 southside school districts in San Antonio. The Service Learning initiative is another program sponsored by the Programs Task Force.
The workshop was attended by 18 representatives from Animal Care Services, Animal Defense League, Humane Society, rescue groups and volunteers from the Alamo Area Partners for Animal Welfare (AAPAW), and the San Antonio Area Foundation Animal Services/OwnUpSA team.
Future workshops are being planned on the topics of Volunteer Management, Customer Service, Spay/Neuter Transport, and Medical Protocols. The next workshop will be on Volunteer Management in May.
