Winners of the Human Rights Educators USA 
Edward O'Brien Award

In January 2025, the Academy was honored to be presented with the Edward O’Brien Award, a recognition given by Human Rights Educators USA to an organization, institution, or program that has made an outstanding contribution to human rights education in the United States.

Why It
Matters

The O’Brien award is a celebration of the values AHR holds dear and our work to provide access to impactful human rights education to all who seek it.

It serves to reminds us that every effort, every learner, and every voice matters in shaping an equitable, just society based in dignity and respect.

How We Carry
It Forward

This honor strengthens our commitment to creating transformative learning experiences and nurturing the next generation of human rights leaders.

We look ahead with excitement, determined to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and continue building a world where human rights education is accessible to all.

With deep gratitude, the Academy thanks our amazing 

community of students, educators, and supporters.

Your enthusiasm and generosity allows the Academy to turn our vision of human rights education into reality.
