A Message from The Fouth R: Human Rights Education

My name is Swetha Krishnakumar, and I work with an organization known as the Fourth R: Human Rights Education.

Our organization is looking for reliable and passionate volunteers interested in education, human rights, and working with children. The Fourth R is a student-led program that promotes human rights by designing and delivering lessons to fifth grade students at local Atlanta schools, giving human rights presentations throughout Atlanta, and conducting workshops throughout the region to encourage and empower others to be human rights educators.

We are currently looking for 2 types of volunteers:
Volunteer Facilitators: people who would be interested in going into 5th grade classrooms and conducting weekly lessons
Campus Coordinators: people who would work on campus to raise awareness and funding to sustain our work with Atlanta 5th grade students
So if you are interested in working with children, learning more about the teaching profession, and promoting human rights, please join us for one of two INFORMATION SESSIONS on volunteer opportunities with our program. We will provide additional information about the Fourth R program as well as the application process.
