Join the Junior Advocate Program!

 

Are you passionate about helping animals across Texas?

 

This exciting program gives kids the opportunity to take their passion and love for animals and affect change in a variety of ways. Junior Advocates will gain a well-rounded knowledge of animal welfare issues in the state of Texas, meet their legislators, and help raise awareness about animal welfare statewide.

Discover how focused, purposeful and effective community outreach can be part of your organization’s strategy and how building positive relationships with pet owners can improve the quality of life for pets and people in your community.

 Teaching kindness to animals through our children will lead to a humane tomorrow. Become a Junior Advocate TODAY!

How do I know if the Junior Advocate Program is for me?

The Junior Advocate program is right for you if you are:

  • 9 to 17-years-old;
  • Enthusiastic and passionate about educating and advocating for the compassionate treatment of animals in Texas;
  • Interested in serving the community, receiving advocacy training; and
  • Willing to present about THN and its mission in front of peers, and groups.

In 1933, the National PTA Congress issued the following statement in support of humane education:

“Children trained to extend justice, kindness, and mercy to animals become more just, kind, and considerate in their relations with each other. Character training along these lines will result in men and women of braver sympathies, more humane, more law-abiding in every respect more valuable citizens.”
