Partnering with Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES

Dissecting Gummy Bears
One of the great things about our Pet Connections program is the unlimited opportunity for community partnerships and collaborations.  Recently, we have teamed up with Animal Sciences students at the Flint campus of Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES to enhance our knowledge of pets.

Once a week, four of the program's participants attend the Animal Science program which runs from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.  During this time, there they are provided with the opportunity to work with students to learn various animal care techniques. The students serve as mentors and assist participants as the learn different, animal-related tasks such as grooming and general care. Through this partnership our Pet Connections participants are improving their knowledge, skills, and confidence.
