HERE
The Eleanor Roosevelt Center is dedicated to breathing new life into the precedents set and the legacies left behind by the First Lady of the World, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
We strive to be Eleanor Roosevelt’s heart, mind and voice in realizing a better world – a world of acceptance, opportunity, dignity and respect for all.
About Us
The Eleanor Roosevelt Center educates, inspires and empowers young people to use their talents and resources to build a sustainable world that reflects Eleanor’s passion for human rights, principled leadership and social justice.
For more than three decades, we have focused on issues that were at the heart of Eleanor Roosevelt’s life and work. Today, our programming is focused in three main pillars – human rights, intellectual freedom and voters’ rights.
The Eleanor

Human Rights
At the Eleanor Roosevelt Center, we believe that safeguarding the rights of all people is the foundation of Global Affirmation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
