School Programs
A Kid Can Change the World
Encourage your students to be superheroes in defeating hunger and poverty through our free educational and fundraising programs catered to any age group.
New for Parents, Teachers and Students!
We launched a 4-week series of free, downloadable resources to help teachers, parents and grandparents teach the children in their lives about the importance of generous giving while exploring how Heifer helps end hunger and poverty. The packs come in two levels — elementary (ages 4–10) and secondary (age 11+) — with similar, age-appropriate activities and content for the whole family to learn together!
