Schools and Youth Organizations

Pawsitive Endeavors: Empowering Youth for Animal Impact

Are you looking for a project for your class or group? Here are some ideas to get you started:

Bake sale: Organize a bake sale where students can contribute homemade baked goods to sell. Advertise the event within the school and local community to maximize participation and funds raised.
Pet supply drive: Host a pet supply drive where students collect donations of food, toys, blankets, and other necessary supplies for the animal shelter. Arrange designated drop-off locations within the school and encourage students to spread the word to friends, family, and neighbors.
Walk or run: Plan a walk or run event, where students gather sponsors who pledge to donate a certain amount of money for every mile they complete. Choose a scenic route and promote the event both within the school and in the wider community.

Car wash: Set up a car wash event in a convenient location, such as the school parking lot, and charge a fee for each car washed. Advertise the event in advance to attract a good number of customers and encourage students to work in shifts to ensure continuous operation throughout the day.
Pet photo contest: Run a pet photo contest where students can submit pictures of their pets for a small entry fee. Create categories and award prizes for the cutest, funniest, or most unique pet photos. Promote the contest on social media platforms and encourage participants to share their entries.
Animal-themed dress-up day: Designate a day where students can dress up as their favorite animals or wear animal-themed attire. Encourage participants to make a small donation to the animal shelter for the privilege of participating. Consider offering prizes for the most creative costumes.
Calendar contest: Collaborate with local businesses to host a calendar contest for a chance to win one prize per day.
Class war coin or supply drive between classes: The winning class or classroom earns a prize like a pizza party, extra recess or simply bragging rights
Adopt a pet-a-thon: Offer small, stuffed animals at an adoption fair during lunch or recess where students can adopt a stuffed pet for a minimal adoption fee.
Community service projects: Organize a day of service at one of our locations helping to bag pet food, rake and mulch, etc.
