Founded in 1973, the National Association for Humane and Environmental Education (NAHEE) serves as the youth education division of The Humane Society of the United States. NAHEE's mission is to instill good character in children—with a strong emphasis on the humane treatment of animals and respect for the environment—by providing effective, high-quality publications and programs to teachers, students, parents, and animal-sheltering professionals.

NAHEE's many offerings include KIND News™ (an award-winning classroom newspaper for elementary-school children), study/activity guides for teens, numerous online resources, and Teach Kids to Care professional-development workshops for animal care personnel. NAHEE is a nonprofit organization whose work is supported through its Adopt-a-Classroom program as well as through private grants, charitable donations, and allocations from The HSUS.

Recognizing that animals are often the way to a child's heart, NAHEE continues to develop initiatives in humane education, working to ensure that young people in ever-increasing numbers make kindness and respect for all life a part of the way they approach the world.
