What Is The Compassionate Care Classroom?
The Open Sanctuary Project’s Compassionate Care Classroom features innovative courses for sanctuary caregivers, volunteers, and anyone looking to build knowledge on important animal sanctuary topics. Consisting of carefully written lessons, photos, videos, and brief quizzes, our courses are peer reviewed by sanctuary experts, with sensitive medical issues given additional review by a qualified veterinarian with sanctuary experience, so you can trust what you learn. Our instructors will also be available to answer any questions you may have throughout the classroom experience.
Those who complete each course series will receive a unique Certificate of Completion!
