Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California at 1332 L. Ron Hubbard Way, whose stated mission is "To teach youth around the globe about Human Rights, thus helping them to become valuable advocates for the promotion of tolerance and peace". Specifically, they teach the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. [1]

YHRI has teamed with other organizations to produce youth-oriented multimedia content for the purpose of teaching human rights. In 2004, they teamed with TXL Films to create the award-winning [2] music video, "UNITED." [3] In 2006, with support from the Human Rights Department of the Church of Scientology, they produced 30 public service announcements for TV, illustrating each of the 30 rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.[4]

YHRI's President and Founder is Mary Shuttleworth (formerly Mary Untiedt), who also founded the Applied Scholastics schools "Shuttleworth Academy" and "Mary's Schoolhouse". [5] Shuttleworth also holds an executive position at TXL Films, [6] the company who created the music video UNITED, [7] with YHRI.

YHRI's Executive Director is Tim Bowles, former law partner of Moxon & Bowles for the Church of Scientology, serving as general legal council. Bowles also acts as an advisor to the Church's Citizens Commission on Human Rights. [8]
