Century College
Help students in the Twin Cities learn about animal protection and veganism!
Two Circle of Compassion presentations will be given on Wednesday, November 28th at Century College. One from 9:55am – 10:45am and one at 4:00pm – 5:15pm. Volunteers will meet with the Bridges coordinator at the front entrance of the school at 9:40am or 3:45pm, about fifteen minutes before the classes begin.
We are honored to be invited into classrooms at dozens of local schools. As a volunteer, you’ll get to see the variety of ways we introduce animal protection topics in an average classroom. Presentations offer a lot of inspiring information in a well-established learning environment, and the vegan food samples are a fun, impactful way to show how delicious plant-based food can be. Volunteers complete these presentations by helping to prepare and distribute about 30 food samples throughout the presentation. Without a volunteer, we can’t provide food samples in our presentations.
If you have a camera available, please bring it! We would love to get a few good shots of students enjoying their vegan food samples.
For more information or if you would like to volunteer, email Shannon Kimball at shannon@bridgesofrespect.org.
