Rights & Responsibilities

Know your rights as a tenant, employee, parent, patient, and citizen. Learn to navigate systems and advocate for yourself.

About This Program
Why Rights & Responsibilities?

Too many people in our communities don't know their rights — as tenants, as employees, as patients, as parents, as citizens. They accept unfair treatment because they don't know they have a choice. They avoid systems because they don't understand how they work.

Rights & Responsibilities is a practical, empowering program that teaches community members what they're entitled to, how to advocate for themselves, and what their responsibilities are as members of a community and a country.

Knowledge of your rights isn't just information — it's power.
Core Topics
What You'll Learn
Practical knowledge you can use immediately in your daily life.

Tenant Rights

Lease agreements, security deposits, eviction protections, maintenance requests, fair housing laws, and what landlords can and cannot do.

Employee Rights

Patient Rights

Healthcare access, informed consent, medical records, insurance appeals, HIPAA privacy, and navigating the healthcare system.
