Animals have a unique power to engage and inspire learners of all types and ages.

Gulf Coast Creature Connect was started with the mission to harness this power and bring in-person and virtual animal encounters to as many students as possible. GCCC is run by a licensed educator with a lifetime of different animal career and caretaker experiences.

We combine state standards, evidence-based instructional strategies, and live animals into a variety of programs for individuals and classes in preschool through grade 12. We also partner with libraries, after-school programs, daycares, camps, churches, and special events to bring to life engaging and innovative animal-based education solutions.
