We are proud to launch the Kirby Edmonds Fellowship Campaign, one of our most important fundraisers of the year. Centered around the theme “Amplifying Youth Voices for Justice and Education,” this campaign reflects our belief that young leaders don’t just represent the future of human rights advocacy; they are already leading it today.
Your donation will go directly toward funding the training and mentorship of Edmonds Fellows for Summer 2027.

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.
Over the past 15 years, we have developed relationships with HRE educators and organizations all across the country to further the field of human rights education in the United States. From regional chapters to fellowships, grants, and working groups, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together and look forward to continuing the work in the years to come!
HREA is delighted to inform you about the recently launched Global Alliance for Human Rights. Convened by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Alliance is a multi-stakeholder, cross-regional alliance to mobilize leadership, align resources, and rebuild trust in human rights as a practical force that improves lives, sustains peace and drives sustainable development.
Where is human rights work happening in the United States today? Where are human rights powerful?
