LEAP (Leaders for Ethics, Animals, and the Planet) is a revolutionary humane education program designed specifically for high school students who love animals. Hosted by 32 participating farmed animal sanctuaries across the nation, LEAP combines interactive curriculum modules with hands-on learning activities, leadership training, and real-world skill development. LEAP aims to prepare the next generation of changemakers to tackle the challenges of animal cruelty, climate change, food deserts, and habitat loss, and encourages them to devise solutions for a more compassionate, sustainable food system.
During the school year for approximately 10 hours per month, students will meet at River's Wish to care for rescued animals, assist with facility and organizational projects, and participate in a humane education curriculum, all culminating in an annual scholarship competition and final group presentation to family and friends!
