Paws to Connect
Humane Hero Academy
In the Humane Hero Academy at the Monmouth County SPCA students discover the inner workings of our shelter and cultivate skills to become passionate animal advocates. Through Scout nights or school visits, participants engage in hands-on learning experiences, fostering empathy and responsibility towards animals while gaining practical knowledge about animal welfare. Become a champion for our furry friends and make a difference in their lives today!
How Does it Work?
Scout Nights
Join us once a month with your troop to learn about the shelter and all about humane education. Scouts will leave with a Humane Hero certificate and the ability to share their knowledge with their community!

Cost: $5 per scout
Where: 260 Wall St, Eatontown, NJ 07724
When: First Tuesday of every month from 5:15-6 PM
School Visits
Our team of volunteers will share the lesson from the comfort of your classroom so your students can become Humane Heroes, too!
Please fill out the form below to request a visit! Someone from our team will be in touch shortly.

All students or scouts who go through the Humane Hero Academy will receive a certificate and a sticker to signify their achievement and show off their status as a Humane Hero!
FAQ
Will there be a Pet Therapy Dog at Scout Night or my school visit?
Subject to availability of our pet therapy teams.
Can I sign up for more than one visit?
Right now, we ask that you only sign up for a single visit. Our curriculum is in the process of being revamped, so we currently only have one lesson to share. Our goal is to share it with as many students as we can to expand the reach of the Humane Heroes across Monmouth County.
What if we cannot pay the fee?
We would still love to share the Humane Hero Academy with you! Please email [email protected].
Host a Community Fundraiser
If you can’t make a scout night or you don’t have time to fit in a visit in the classroom, you can still get your kiddos involved! Host a Community Fundraiser to help the animals at the shelter.
