A better world, a better country, a better community must begin at home

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world… Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.” The Human Rights Education Institute was established to do just that.

Our mission is to promote human rights as an essential element of a just and successful democracy. We serve the community by collaborating with other area organizations and educational institutions to provide programs, exhibits, public forums, and networking opportunities to address human rights issues that impact our community and to encourage public dialogue about these issues.

Every person counts. HREI addresses a wide range of diversity issues in the course of its programs, including race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic class, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and job and life circumstance. Prejudice and discrimination cannot be eliminated in one area while continuing to exist in another.
