Topic: “Youth in Animal Welfare & Empathy”
Inspiring the next generation of animal advocates, volunteers, and compassionate rescue leaders.
“We at Good Will Good Karma encourage everyone to learn more about what we do. We are a Youth Lead Rescue. Our Founder Will started this when he was 8 years old, and loves to tell everyone how it all started, what we do and how many animals we have helped so far. Will’s primary focus is encouraging today and future youth to get involved in the world of rescue, volunteering and respecting and caring for the animals that we see.”
While Speaking engagements are free, we ask for a minimum $50 donation that will be put directly towards feeding, vaccinations, and vetting animals in our care.
Every presentation is interactive, uplifting, and tailored for assemblies, scout troops, conferences, or virtual classrooms.
Will shares his raw, honest journey of starting Good Will Good Karma at age 8. Highlights overcoming doubts, setting up grassroots rescues, and empowering kids to launch their own community impact projects.
Practical lessons on body language, meeting animals with respect, puppy & kitten socialization, and why fostering saves shelter lives from overcrowding.
A step-by-step masterclass for young changemakers: organizing pet food drives, building foster networks, handling digital outreach, and turning empathy into daily action.
