Rooted in Georgia, Sharing Resources Beyond It
GCHE is a Georgia-based nonprofit focused on expanding access to humane education throughout the state. Many of the resources we curate, however, come from organizations serving educators and communities across the country.
By identifying useful materials and providing practical context about who they are for and how they can be used, GCHE aims to make humane education resources easier to find for people both within Georgia and beyond.
The People Behind GCHE
GCHE’s work is guided by people with experience in humane education, animal protection, education, communications, community service, and related fields.
