“The student reaction to the workshops of HREC was overwhelmingly positive. It was perhaps the first time (these incarcerated youth) they have looked at their own biases or had made the connection between bias, hatred and violence. I wish this training could be incorporated in all curricula, but until then, HREC has a vital role to play. I highly recommend their services.”

-Patrick Colclough, Teacher, Wasatch Youth Center


 



The Human Rights Education Center of
Utah is nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization

Our Mission:

Advancing equality in Utah through education, advocacy and dialogue.

Too many of our children are immersed in a culture of violence and intolerance. HREC believes that education is unique in its ability to transform ignorance into respect. Intolerance, bullying, exclusion, disrespect and violence are PREVENTABLE behaviors.

As prejudice is born in ignorance tolerance is born in education. HREC teaches character and anti-bias education in the schools, and in the community, in an effort to promote a safe and bias-free environment for all.

We have taught thousands of kids since our inception in 1999!
