The jhr University Chapter Program engages students, professors, and universities from across North America: believing in the power of youth to promote social change, jhr has established a presence on university and high school campuses by encouraging student Chapters to foster the proliferation of human rights awareness of global issues and the power of the media in affecting such change through the coordination of educational and awareness projects. The Program has four pillars, focused around educating students on human rights, governance, and social justice issues.
- media creation
- cross-cultural education (coming soon)
- event coordination
- student training
