The world becomes what you teach.

Get inspired! Get connected! Get empowered! Get away from the downer of the daily headlines and be part of an uplifting experience! Join us at Youth Alternatives in South Portland, Maine, to learn new strategies and ideas for teaching about the most important issues of our time, including human rights, animal protection, environmental preservation, and media and consumerism, in the company of other advocates for change!

The “Sowing Seeds” Workshop will teach you how to offer effective and transformative humane education programs in your community or school. You’ll learn new activities that teach critical thinking about relevant issues of human rights, animal protection, environmental preservation, the media, and consumerism. “Sowing Seeds” is recommended for educators of all types and those who are considering applying to our M. Ed. or Certificate Program.

Humane education helps raise a generation that cares, that realizes that what we do matters, not just to ourselves but also to everyone our lives touch; a generation that understands the connections between both our personal and cultural choices and the fate of other people, other species, and the Earth, and takes responsibility for solving problems and creating a better world.

“I feel empowered: I am reminded of my passions and my dreams… but most importantly I am re-charged and ready to get out there and develop programs in my hometown.” - Jessica Anderson, Colorado

“What was most helpful/useful were critical/innovative activities to use with students. Your ideas were amazing.” - Estrella Mellon, teacher, Miami-Dade County, Florida
