Humane Education
On March 16, 1970, with the hard work and dedication of a few key volunteers committed to caring and protecting animals in order to improve the quality of their lives, the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley became incorporated. As with any new start-up organization, there were many challenges. It was a time of hope, despair, promises, and disappointments. Along this challenging path, the Society’s dream became one to provide the residents of the city of San Bernardino and their pets with quality animal services sufficient to meet local needs. This dream was inspired and led by a true visionary, Joyce Young Martin. Beatrice Tupman Prothero who documented the Society’s first history stated:
- Critter Camp- two, hands on day camps for students entering the 2nd – 6th grades. Critter Camp normally has two sessions — one in June and one in July.
- Field trips to the HSSBV facility with tour and educational presentation
- Presentations and badge earning projects for Girl Scouts/Scouts
- Stars of Hope painting service projects
