Staff and Volunteer Speakers Bureau
Speaker presentation
The staff and volunteers of The Advocates for Human Rights offer lectures and CLE presentations for groups on several human rights-related subjects.  We present to a wide variety of audiences including attorneys, public officials, journalists, K-12 classrooms, university students, educators, faith communities, advocates, social workers, and immigrants and refugees. 

What people are saying about our presentations:

"[The best thing about the presentation was] the wealth of information, and things to take home."

"The information [was] presented in a simple, easy-to-understand way."

Speakers bureau presentations are held on request.
