Careers with Critters Starter Kit™
Does Your Teen Love Animals?
Help them turn their passion into conservation action and a dream career pathway!
Begin with a Careers with Critters™ Starter Kit.
It helps animal-loving teens explore exciting animal careers, lead meaningful conservation projects, build real-world skills, and begin their journey toward becoming Critter Saver Champions™.
This Is Much More Than Another Online Course→
Most online programs ask learners to sit, watch, and complete lessons on their own with no support and no Q&A time...
The Careers with Critters™ Starter Kit is different. Your teen gets a guided learning experience built around connection, curiosity, action, and personal growth. Learners join Live Labs with a real guide, connect & chat in the Lounge, explore bonus activities, field guides, and videos in The Library, and follow a personalized pawprint path based on their favorite animals, interests, strengths, and future goals.
Live instructor-led sessions, offered online or in person, where learners explore animal careers, ask questions, try activities, and receive guidance.
A supportive community space where learners ask questions, post project updates, celebrate wins, and connect with other animal-loving learners.
A growing resource hub filled with field guides, videos, activities, career resources, project tools, and recordings that learners can explore anytime.
Each learner connects the program to their own favorite animals, habitats, conservation causes, strengths, and career dreams.
The perfect first step for animal-loving teens curious about working with animals but unsure where to begin.
