Do you have a registered therapy dog with TDI, Pet Partners, Alliance of Therapy Dogs, or another recognized therapy dog organization?
Are you looking for more ways to do good with your dog in the community?
We want to hear from you!
Canine Inspired Change (CIC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving vulnerable youth the social-emotional tools they need to be active participants in their schools—and their communities. Our work with registered therapy dog teams helps young people and adults transcend trauma, social struggles and isolation by sparking meaningful connections with dogs, volunteers—and each other.
Our innovative and successful therapy dog program focuses on social-emotional learning to give students the tools to better self-regulate—in the classroom and in life. Through customizable sessions, we partner with schools and organizations in the Twin Cities to offer programming that connects with their young learners.
If this sounds like the type of work you and your registered therapy dog would enjoy, we would LOVE to have you on our team! Please contact Erin Jorich for more information about training to become a CIC Therapy Dog Team and upcoming opportunities to do good with your dog.
CIC provides scholarships for our trainings! We are committed to diversifying our lead and volunteer teams. Please reach out to apply for a partial or full scholarship to our trainings!
