Pawsperity unleashes human potential through the art of pet grooming. Based in Kansas City, we are the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit grooming school across the country. Our transformative program breaks the cycle of generational poverty through extensive job training within a booming industry. Our students are some of society’s most vulnerable, with a focus on single parents living in poverty. In addition to a detailed curriculum for pet grooming, our “all-in” approach includes soft skills classes such as communication and budgeting. Students also have access to a variety of wrap-around services to support them while in school such as housing, food assistance, and case management. Additional pet services are also offered to the community, including doggie daycare and a grooming salon, which help support our life-changing mission.
