Human Rights Certificate Program
Earn Your Human Rights Certificate
The Wassmuth Center’s Human Rights Certificate Course engages learners in an exploration of how to cultivate an environment where every person’s human rights are protected and promoted. Individuals will develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to foster inclusive spaces and advocate for equity. Participants will build a foundation of shared understanding to foster just and joyful communities where all belong and thrive.
Why is a Human Rights Certificate Important?
The communities we dream of — where everyone belongs, where each person is treated with dignity, where kindness and justice shape daily life — don’t just happen.
They are created.
They are built, moment by moment, by people who choose to live their values out loud — in their workplaces, their neighborhoods, their schools, and their homes.
At the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, we believe in the power of ordinary people to do extraordinary things when they commit to cultivating communities rooted in human rights. We imagine an Idaho and a world where kindness is non-negotiable, inclusion is intentional, and every person’s humanity is honored.
But creating that kind of world takes more than good intentions. It takes learning. It takes courage. It takes practice.
That’s why we offer programs like our Human Rights Certificate — an online learning experience designed to help people reflect deeply, act intentionally, and lead with heart.
Through six engaging modules, participants explore what it means to lead with intention, respond to the needs of their communities, and foster environments where all are treated with dignity and respect.
Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your leadership, create a more welcoming workplace, or simply live with greater awareness and compassion, this course offers tools, insights, and inspiration to guide you.
The future we long for is shaped by the choices we make today.
We invite you to join us to learn, to reflect, and to be part of building a more just, joyful, and inclusive world.
It starts here. It starts with us. It starts with you.
