Young Advocates for Human Rights is a summer camp that equips teens to advocate for Human Rights Locally, Nationally, and Globally. YAHR is an annual program of the Human Rights Education Institute and is an intensive, fun, one-week training course designed to promote thoughtful engagement in the field of human rights. The three consecutive weeks of camp (August 2-6, 9-13, 16-20) engage middle school and high school students in human rights concepts through service-learning projects, role play, presentations by experts, and multi-media activities. YAHR camp is based at HREI, located at the corner of City Park in downtown Coeur d' Alene and extends to Worley, Idaho and elsewhere for field trips during this daycamp from 10am-3pm M-F each week.
