What is the KINDness Club?

A cool club for kids from ages 6-12, the KINDness club helps kids learn about animals while they have fun. Each month, KINDness Club kids visit wildlife preserves, horse farms or other animal havens or hear animal experts talk about everything from iguanas to rabbits. Kids in the club also make educational displays and help out with events.

What does KINDness stand for?

KIND stands for Kids In Nature's Defense, and is a program of the National Association of Humane and Environmental Education (NAHEE), the youth education division of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Although our names are similar, the Frederick County Humane Society is an independent not-for-profit organization. We receive no government funding, nor do we have a "parent" organization.

When does the club meet?

The KINDness club meets the third Saturday of each month from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Please note that meeting events and time are subject to change. Members will be provided with details prior to each meeting via email. You can also contact the FCHS office at (301) 694-8300 to confirm meeting events and times.   View the Kindness Club Page or the Kindness Club Newsletter to learn more.
