Idaho Human Rights Education Center

Located in Boise, Idaho, the Center's Mission is to promote respect for human dignity and diversity through education and to foster individual responsibility to work for justice and peace. The Center achieves this mission through educational programs with teachers and students, community leadership, and advocacy in human rights. The Center was founded in 1996 to construct a memorial to human rights. In August 2002, that vision became a reality when the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial opened to the public.

The Center's list of accomplishments include the following:

• Comprehensive K-12 "Scope & Sequence" of human rights classroom lessons authored by Idaho teachers;
• Organization of Human Rights Education Missions for Idaho teachers and administrators, including Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands (2007), the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (2007 & 2008), China (2007), Korea (2008), and Germany (2009);
• The Creation of over 60 classroom lessons designed to bring global connections, global cultures, and global issues into Idaho's classrooms and beyond.

Educators in Idaho have teamed up with the Transatlantic Outreach Program for many years to develop lessons on Post-Unification Germany as well as Environmental Justice.
