"Educate. Empower. Engage."

Everyone, if equipped with the proper tools, can bring about positive social change.
IDIA shows them how.

Our Mission

The Mission of IDIA is to provide innovative educational opportunities to students of all ages so they may better understand their role in global and domestic civil society.

Our Philosophy

Educate.  Empower.  Engage. We educate our participants about important issues.  We empower them by developing critical life skills.  And we engage them in bringing about positive social change.  They’re more than three simple words.  They are the basis behind everything we do.

Invest in IDIA!

In order to continue our legacy of producing the best civics education programs available, we need your help. Whether you become a member of IDIA or simply contribute, your support will benefit the more than 3,000 students we reach every year.
