National Student Program
PHR launched a student program in 1996 to develop the next generation of human rights champions and cultivate their unique contributions to the movement. PHR hosts a student blog, and has toolkits to get students involved in PHR's work. Student advocacy for PHR includes participating in action alerts, urging elected officials to take action, and educating their local communities on health and human rights issues. Today, 3,700 students from 64 medical and public health school chapters learn human rights and advocacy through an on-line community, Regional Advocacy Institutes, and National Student Conference.
