The John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights works in community to build peace across diverse people, provide education and build resources for human rights, facilitate people power and action on human rights issues, and document human rights issues and bring them to light.
Currently the John Humphrey Centre is supporting the YEG Community Response to COVID19, a volunteer led project to respond to ensure Edmontonians in need have a space where they can reach out and access the support they need in order to weather the COVID19 pandemic and that no one is left behind. https://www.facebook.com/groups/209788323463176/
