Welcome to 🎉 This week The Latham Foundation is proud to feature SPCA Westchester, one of our previous 2024 .

SPCA Westchester’s Humane Education (HE) Program offers transformative, hands-on learning experiences that cultivate empathy, emotional intelligence, and social responsibility. Through meaningful interactions with animals, children witness the realities of animal welfare firsthand. These experiences nurture compassion, spark curiosity, and encourage ethical decision-making, laying the groundwork for a lifelong commitment to kindness. 🐕

SPCA Westchester launched two initiatives: Camp Critter, a weeklong summer camp for younger children, and Junior Veterinarian Science Camp, an immersive one-day program for older students interested in veterinary medicine and animal welfare.

Latham Letters – The Latham Foundation

Welcome to 🎉 This week is proud to feature as one of our 2025 .

Animal Protection New Mexico (APNM) expanded its humane education curriculum, The Animal Connection, to two remote areas of New Mexico 🏜️ long recognized as areas with a high need for animal welfare advocacy. APNM also fostered vital partnerships between teachers, local leaders, organizations, and businesses to help students raise awareness and address intractable issues in their communities, specifically those related to animal overpopulation and dog bite 🐕 safety. 128 high school and middle school students, from 12 to 17 years old, living in rural New Mexico tackled critical animal welfare issues in their communities.

The project helped strengthen the student-teacher bond, as the teacher reported to APNM that students began to share their personal experiences with animal cruelty and how they had started caring for and advocating for their companion animals within their families. This resulted in parents reporting to the teacher with enthusiasm that they were happy their child had participated in an important project that helps the community.
