With a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies and English from the University of Idaho as well as a Master of Arts in Education from Stanford University, Jess Westhoff has more than twenty years of experience teaching students of all ages. As Education Programs Manager for the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise, Idaho she has the privilege of designing, directing, and facilitating human rights education programs for learners of all ages. The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights engages learners of all ages in transformative human rights education in Idaho and beyond through programs and resources that build on the ideas inspired by the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Center does this work by taking lessons from history, connecting them to the present, and working to create a future that centers dignity and belonging for all.

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.
