Parker Student Task Force Kicks Off Human Rights Day
Parker’s Student Task Force was recognized by the official Human Rights Watch Student Task Force organization for their work in helping kick off Human Rights Day.
Founded in 1999, the Human Rights Watch Student Task Force is a youth leadership and human rights advocacy training program that empowers students to advocate for human rights issues, especially the rights of children. And to help jump-start Human Rights Day, Parker’s STF group organized a human rights trivia recruitment event asking their peers trivia questions and the human rights issues that matter most to them. With this feedback from their peers, STF began working on a “developing a Student Bill of Responsibilities and Rights that reflects the priorities of their campus.”
We are extremely proud of our students for leading the charge and fulfilling Parker’s mission through their actions.
Francis W. Parker School educates students to think and act with empathy, courage and clarity as responsible citizens and leaders in a diverse democratic society and global community.
