Certified Humane Education Specialist Program

Certified Humane Education Specialist Courses

As an integral part of our mission, Humane Society University’s School of Continuing Education works to ensure that the next generation will have the opportunity to develop and foster humane attitudes and behavior. To do that, we have teamed with experts around the country to offer training for current and future educators to instill these values and models in young people and those who teach. The program is designed to help classroom teachers, school administrators, youth outreach professionals, shelter directors, humane education specialists, and humane law enforcement officers enhance their credentials and effectively use their limited time and resources to infuse humane education into current prosocial programs. The courses center on activities, readings, and field-tested strategies for working with children, teens, school faculty, and youth leaders.

Complete the prerequisite and required courses, three other courses in the humane education program of study, and pass an exam to receive Certified Humane Education Specialist (CHES) credentials.
