Youth in Action for Human Rights Awards

hreusa's avatar by Leave a comment

To encourage a new generation of human rights activists, the 2024 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. For further information and nomination forms see https://hreusa.org/awards-and-grant-opportunities/youth-in-action-for-human-rights-awards/

Award Eligibility:  

Their principal work should focus on the USA. 

One individual and one group of young people in high school (grades 9-12) or the equivalent  (e.g., older high school students, GED students, not in formal schooling). 

Ineligible: College students and those 21 or older.

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.
