About The Goodis Center
The Goodis Center for Research and Reform, LLC (also recognized as the Robert Goodis Foundation) was formed in late 2009 in Dutchess County, New York. The company is designed to run fund-raisers previously started by Robert Goodis, including the original Save Darfur yarmulke.

Through volunteer service, fundraising, advocacy, publication, and education, The Goodis Center for Research and Reform, LLC is dedicated to the pursuit of a better understanding of human rights and to the pursuit of protecting human rights for all people.
The Goodis Center for Research and Reform, LLC and The Robert Goodis Foundation is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for topics of broad social concern while maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere with a peculiar touch of individuality. It is our goal to provide basic, introductory information on a variety of topics to engage our readers in these matters of social concern and to encourage outside learning and action. Further, we aim to move into in-depth research and reform efforts as the organization develops.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can make it happen.
The Goodis Center is preparing an interdisciplinary Journal on human rights, entitled Journal for Human Advancement: Independent Projects for Progress and Human Rights. The Journal will be published semiannually, starting in 2010.
This Journal is published in order to encourage and develop a general public familiarity with human rights and to foster a productive critical understanding of human rights ideology and practice. Articles include basic introductions to the material, case studies, and theoretical discussions, as well as scientific and artistic works that deal with any themes in human rights.
The Journal is intended to work towards an understanding for the origins, development, direction, applications, conflicts and controversies in human rights, as well as to bring attention to both the relation between human rights and policy and the implementation of policies into practice. Moreover, the Journal for Human Advancement seeks to bring together various disciplines and genres to promote a multifaceted and interdisciplinary framework for evaluating human rights.
