Classroom Resources

Heifer's classroom resources give teachers the resources to educate their students about their world neighbors, hunger and poverty and sustainable development while inspiring students to help Heifer build a better world.

Each program meets national learning standards, are flexible (use one or all) and help lead students on the path to active global citizenship.
