Amnesty International Club

There are numerous reasons to get involved with a human rights organization. One significant reason is that human rights organizations allow many opportunities for students to organize fundraising, advocacy, and volunteer efforts that are not always available at the high school level. Another — perhaps more self-serving reason — is that your participation in a human rights organization is both a way to expand your extracurricular profile and serve your community at the same time. However, the most compelling reason to join a human rights organization is the emotional benefits from participation. Speaking out about and impacting a cause for human rights that you are passionate about can feel rewarding and give you the sense that you are really making a difference as a high school student.
