"I am a relative newcomer to the group, in the process of forging my way to becoming more involved in humane education. I cannot tell you how exciting and inspiring it is to be a part of this group. Personally and professionally, I am a member of various online groups and I have never seen a group that is as passionate, supportive, creative, enthusiastic and kind as you are. I consider it a privilege to be a part of this group and I look forward to being able to contribute, in the coming months, to you and the causes you are dedicated to." - Laura Mansfield 

"I value all that I have gained from being a member of APHE, the 'long-distance' friends I've made, and all the sharing and help I've always received from fellow members.  I've even gotten ideas - and guests - for my 'adult' humane education radio program, Pet Talk." - Jean Meyer

"The passion and willingness of APHE conference delegates to exchange knowledge and share support - sharing their learning and truly offering the 'power of knowledge' generously - these are truly professional humane educators. In turn, this created a feeling of belonging to a large family, which is non-judgmental and that has one core common goal: to make the world a better place. 
The APHE conference offered us much more than just knowledge and we hope  that in the future it continues with growing success and increased international attendance as this is one conference no one should miss!
With gratitude for the experience," - Pei F. Su, Executive Director, ACTAsia For Animals

"APHE is so wonderful when someone asks for help and all these great people step forward and send us all this great information we wouldn't be aware of otherwise! Nothing beats a coast to coast safety net of humane educators willing to share, pool and offer information like this -- thanks!" - Joanne Cronan-Hamoy, Education Director, Spring Farm CARES Animal Sanctuary, Clinton, NY 

"APHE is a WONDERFUL place to learn great ideas and to tap into some remarkable wisdom." - Valerie Ingram, Lakes Animal Friendship Society  

“APHE is a vital resource to humane educators navigating the ever-changing landscape of our world. As an educator, it is important to stay current, relevant, and engaging, and the networking and resource sharing provided by APHE allows individuals to keep up to date with research, ideologies, classroom practices, and more. While I would say it is a necessity for all new humane educators, even veteran educators who have been in the field for many years can still learn a lot through APHE.”

Kylie Wiest, Charleston Animal Society

“I love how APHE members support each other! Love the lesson plans and resources too.” Karly Noel, RedRover

“Before joining APHE, I had never been a part of a professional development organization, and now I don't think I can ever go back! Since becoming a member, I have been able to grow as an educator and improve my skill set. Having other members to bounce ideas off of has been so helpful in my creative process, and the member resources were a wonderful asset during our summer camp season. It is such a great feeling to be a part of a community that shares your passion for animals and educating. I cannot recommend APHE highly enough!”

Katie Campbell, Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh

“As the only Humane Education staff member at our organization I can feel a little lonely and overwhelmed. APHE has provided me with a sense of community, resources to help grow and better our programs, and the ability to easily communicate and learn from others. I am very proud to be a member of APHE.”
