Our goal is to assist local communities in their efforts to coordinate and develop their resources of preventing delinquency. The Federal Government can and must provide the leverage for work that no agency or community could ever hope to do alone.

New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
