Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers (HEART) provides services that are specially designed to provide a combined focus on human rights, animal protection and environmental ethics. Their direct services to educators and students, as well as their city and state level advocacy efforts, enable them to significantly impact the way young people think about their responsibility to one another, animals and the natural world.

By linking their age-appropriate instructional program to their service-based learning program, students are given the tools to make positive changes. They are the only full-service provider of humane education in the New York City and Chicago areas and reach thousands of students each year with their programs. Their services are offered at no cost to schools and other non-profit agencies and focus on at-risk youth.

The HEART program addresses key issues in education and fits into the IDP Foundation’s strategy to support educational content that enhances the classroom experience and creates a thoughtful student culture.
