Genevieve Johner started with the Humane Education department at the Calgary Humane Society in the summer of 2019 after completing her Bachelor of Sciences (BSc.). She gained valuable experience working with youth during their Summer Camps. Genevieve enjoyed working with the Humane Education Team so much that she stayed on as contract staff while she completed her Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) with the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary.

Although COVID put a stop to Humane Education programming and volunteering for a while, Genevieve returned to CHS as a full-time Humane Education & Outreach Facilitator in April of 2021. What she loves the most about working in animal welfare as a Humane Educator is watching the youth she engages with, grow to become animal advocates both inside and outside of the shelter environment.
