The Kindness Club is an evening program for children who want to learn more about animals. Join us for eight fun-filled weeks of learning, crafts, games and opportunities to meet some of our amazing animal friends.
This program is for 6- to 13-year-olds, and runs three times per year in the fall, winter, and spring. There is a Junior group (6- to 9-year-olds) and a Senior group (10- to 13-year-olds). There is a maximum of 10 children per group.
Each age group in Kindness Club offers two levels, giving families the flexibility to choose the option that best fits their child.
Level 1 introduces broad, foundational topics, while Level 2 explores more specialized subjects in greater depth. The two levels are designed to help participants build their knowledge over time, but completing Level 1 is not required before registering for Level 2.
Families are welcome to register for whichever level they feel is the best fit based on their child’s interests and experience.
Please note: this program is education-based and does not involve volunteering with shelter animals!
The Kindness Club inspires children to learn about animals through one central theme: kindness. By building habits of compassion and empathy, members are encouraged to be kind to animals, each other, and their community.
Each week focuses on a different animal-related topic, brought to life with fun crafts, games, lessons, and activities.
Club members will also choose a “kennel pal,” a shelter animal they can follow the progress of. Together, we explore why some animals are adopted quickly while others take longer to find their forever homes.
When possible, members may meet child-friendly animals from the shelter as well as visiting animal ambassadors.
The Kindness Club runs once a week for eight weeks, with sessions offered in the fall, winter, and spring.
The Club does not operate in the summer.
The Kindness Club meets at the Humane Society of Oakville, Milton & Halton. The address is 445 Cornwall Road in Oakville.
The fee for the Club is $225.
Two Age Groups to Choose From:
Each group is limited to a maximum of 10 children.
When possible, Kindness Club members may have access to appropriate child-friendly animals within the shelter and also animal ambassadors that visit us as part of the weekly topic. Attendees will not be volunteering cleaning kennels or interacting with shelter dogs.
Registration is now open for the Fall 2026 Kindness Club programs.
