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.

The campaign supports the **Kirby Edmonds Summer Fellowships**, created to honor the remarkable legacy of Kirby Edmonds, a founding member of Human Rights Educators USA and a lifelong advocate for social justice. In his honor, these fellowships prepare the next generation of human rights educators, equipping them with the skills to amplify their voices and shape the movement toward a more just and equitable tomorrow.

Your donation will go directly toward funding the training and mentorship of Edmonds Fellows for Summer 2027. Each fellowship costs us $1,500. This year, we are proud to support four Edmonds Fellows, and with your help, we hope to amplify even more youth voices next year.

HRE USA is a collaborative network to learn, teach, organize, advocate, and innovate for human rights education in the U.S.

Founded in 2011, Human Rights Educators USA (HRE USA) is a growing network dedicated to building a culture of human rights by providing an innovative forum for HRE practitioners and supporters to learn, network, and exchange professional expertise and better serve the HRE community. 

HRE USA is guided by the core human rights principles of human dignity, equality, and non-discrimination, within the [United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights](https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights). We believe that effective human rights education is transformative: it empowers individuals and communities and promotes the respect for and embodiment of these values in daily life.

To fulfill our mission, we work alongside our members and partners to build a national movement for human rights education, advocate for the integration of international human rights standards into educational systems and promote supportive national and regional policies. We aim to embed human rights education in curricula, teacher training, and pedagogy by developing resources for educators and contributing to research in the field.

You can also follow us on social media for the latest updates on our projects, events, and community initiatives.
