HRYA
Human Rights Youth Advocacy
Projects and Fundraising
Since its creation, HRYA has been committed to having meaningful impact both locally and internationally. We continually have various projects being created and continued within our organization, with the purpose of providing our communities with the resources they need. In order to fund these projects, we host engaging fundraising events led by our amazing volunteer base.
