HRE USA is excited to welcome Yvonne Vissing as a newly elected member of the HRE USA Steering Committee. Yvonne brings a wealth of experience to HRE USA. She is currently a Professor of Sociology and Founding Director of the Centre for Childhood and Youth Studies at Salem State University in Salem, MA. 


HRE USA is also thrilled to welcome back Kristina Eberbach who has served on the HRE USA Steering Committee for the last 3 years as the Secretary. Kristina is presently the Director of Education for the Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University in New York, NY.

The Steering Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the election. We look forward to serving our membership and continuing to carry out the mission of HRE USA to build a vibrant base of support for HRE in the United States.  

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
