Welcome to NMHRP

About New Mexico Human Rights Projects: Founded in 1989, New Mexico Human Rights Projects (NMHRP) is the only non-profit organization in the state providing unique, hands-on programs that engage students intellectually and emotionally to think about the choices they make when confronted with prejudice, racism, violence and discrimination.

Using lessons learned from history, addressing the dynamics of bullying, and encouraging a dialogue on social and racial injustice, NMHRP seeks to challenge our most basic understanding of human nature and encourage youth to be more respectful, compassionate and empathic human beings.

Exhibits, speakers, workshops and other activities involving New Mexico teachers and students are the hallmark of the organization. NMHRP is best known for twice bringing the internationally-acclaimed Anne Frank in the World: 1929-1945 Exhibit to New Mexico seen by more than 180,000 people.

Understanding the nature of man’s inhumanity to one another can be the impetus to inspire positive behavior and social change, as well as foster confidence, encourage self-esteem and build leadership skills.  NMHRP works tirelessly with and on behalf of students and educators to bring an attitude of respect for others into New Mexico schools.

In the last 15 years, NMHRP has trained more than 400 teachers, counselors and social workers and our programs have reached more than 200,000 students from 350 New Mexico public schools. NMHRP programs empower youth, strengthen our community, and secure a more peaceful society.
