Additional focus is placed on career opportunities working with animals, the environment and other STEM-related fields. Due to COVID closures these programs were severely restricted.
Reading with Dragons: A monthly outreach program run through the Escondido Public Library allows underserved community members to interact with and learn about Bearded Dragons while practicing their reading skills in a positive and fun environment. Several neurodivergent and other disabled students participate in this program.
