ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Mission
The American Democracy Institute (ADI) is dedicated to engaging, educating and empowering a new generation of American
leaders to shape the future of our country.
Vision
ADI was founded on the belief that given the opportunity, information and resources, young people can be a powerful force for social and political change in our democracy.
Who We Are
ADI is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization comprised of a network of young leaders and activists from various fields including business, academia, nonprofit, government and more. We strive to expand this network by educating and engaging young people to become more aware of the issues and ideas that affect their lives.
Leadership
Program
ADI
recognizes that there needs to be a new generation of leaders to face the
challenges in our world and overcome the obstacles that we encounter today and
into the future. We target top emerging leaders ages 25-40 based on their
records of accomplishment and commitment to positive social and political
change. ADI prepares these leaders to shape the future of our country by
educating and empowering them through skill-building programs, problem-solving
initiatives, and a growing network of top young leaders.
Empower
Change Programs
ADI
convenes summits, workshops, and other events around the country as a gateway
for thousands of young people to begin their active engagement with American
democracy. During election cycles, ADI's Empower Change Program combines live
events with a powerful online platform designed to register, educate, mobilize
and protect the votes of young and traditionally disenfranchised voters.
Online
Integration
ADI
has developed an innovative online platform that will allow members to
interact. By going online, young people will be able to provide input on
programs, access online tools, and collaborate with their peers.
