The Carter Center:  Advancing Human Rights and Alleviating Suffering

The Carter Center, in partnership with Emory University, is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating human suffering through international peacemaking, promoting democracy, disease control and prevention programs, and championing mental health issues.

Founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, the Center has helped to improve the quality of life for people in more than 65 countries.

Led by the Carters and an independent board of trustees, the Center's staff wage peace, fight disease, and build hope by both engaging with those at the highest levels of government and working side by side with poor and often forgotten people.

The Carter Center campus is three miles from the Druid Hills campus, midway to downtown Atlanta and a mile and a half from the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical District.
