Civil rights education

Gain a comprehensive understanding of your civil rights through our educational workshops and resources. Our service focuses on equipping individuals and families with the knowledge they need to recognize and assert their rights. We provide accessible materials, engaging presentations, and interactive discussions that cover essential topics such as discrimination, freedom of speech, and the right to privacy. With this knowledge, you can confidently navigate legal challenges and advocate for yourself and others. Join us in fostering a community that values and upholds civil rights for all.

School district accountability

Hold your local school districts accountable with our focused service. We assist parents, guardians, and community members in understanding school district policies, financial expenditures, and decision-making processes. Our team provides tools and resources to help you ask the right questions, gather evidence, and advocate for changes that benefit students and families. By fostering transparency, we empower communities to engage effectively with school officials and demand accountability. Together, we can ensure that educational institutions prioritize the needs of students and maintain integrity in their operations.

Community & Student Support Services

Guardians is not just an investigative and advocacy organization — we are a support network.
Behind transparency fights are real children, families, and community members who need help.
That is why Guardians provides direct support initiatives that uplift students, families, veterans,
and overlooked populations.
