Institute for Democratic Education in America

The Institute for Democratic Education in America partners with and mobilizes communities to advance meaningful learning and to collaboratively build a more just and sustainable democracy. The Institute’s work is grounded in two core principles: building power in communities by supporting local youth, educators, and parents to be the leaders and drivers of educational change; and leading with racial justice and equity by recognizing and working to address systemic racism and vast inequity. The Institute supports individuals and communities to develop the vision, stories, tools, and strategies needed to create and sustain equitable educational systems.
