Amy's Purpose is an education 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to predator awareness and promoting safety information to help protect your beloved pets. Its mission comprises community-based education and outreach programs, as well as student veterinary assistance scholarships, addressing the current crisis in emergency veterinarian care.
To combat the current animal healthcare workers shortage crisis, Amy’s Purpose has partnered with PaCE, a Partnership and Community Education program at the College of the Desert that provides professional development and workforce training for a variety of positions, including veterinary assistants. Our goal is to provide scholarships to PaCE students committed to working with local veterinary clinics. The 150-hour course costs $3,195 and is open to all ages. To date, the scholarship effort has been highly successful, and we have awarded 30 full scholarships to local individuals from cities in the Coachella Valley. www.amyspurpose.org
