Each year jhr's university chapter program publishes Speak, a magazine that showcases human rights reporting by Canadian university students. What makes this publication unique is every element of its creation is carried out by students. The content comes from chapter members from across Canada and each year one school takes on the responsibility of editing, laying out and producing the magazine.

This years Speak was put together by the University of British Columbia jhr chapter and is themed around the issue of Child Rights. With a wide variety of articles covering everything from drug addiction among youth in Nicaragua, to youth working in the sex trade in Vancouver this years Speak magazine tackles important and wide spread rights abuses.

There are three tiers to this program in order to help jhr reach the goal of increasing the overall awareness of human rights in Canada. Each level of workshops, starting with Train the Trainer, will educate and empower more Canadians on human rights issues.
