OUR MISSION The Human Rights Educators USA (HRE USA) is a collaborative network to learn, teach, organize, advocate, and innovate for human rights education in the United States.
To encourage a new generation of human rights activists, the 2026 Youth in Action for Human Rights Awards recognize youth leaders, one individual and one group, whose work explicitly or implicitly reflects and promotes human rights values. Because young activists must nominate themselves for the awards, HRE USA urges adults familiar with their work to urge them to apply.
The 2026 O’Brien Awards recognize an individual and an organizations that has made a significant contribution to human rights education in the United States.
