Institute for Democratic Education in America

The Institute for Democratic Education in America partners with and mobilizes communities to advance meaningful learning and 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 change; and leading with racial justice and equity by recognizing systemic racism and vast inequity. The institute supports people and communities to develop the vision, stories, tools, and strategies to create equitable educational systems. (Substrategy: Student and Community Voice)
