Americans for Informed Democracy empowers and equips young people in the United States to address global issues—poverty, health, climate change, peace and security—through awareness-raising and actions that promote just and sustainable solutions on their campuses, in their communities, and nationally. Our vision is that every American young person is empowered to effectively contribute to peaceful, healthy, just and sustainable solutions to the world's greatest challenges.

Americans for Informed Democracy works with young people, particularly students, to promote an interconnected world through:

• Awareness: AID works across the political spectrum, with people from all backgrounds and identities, by facilitating educational dialogue through conferences, workshops, film screenings, video conferences, and op-eds.
• Advocacy: Building on awareness, AID provides toolkits and trainings to empower young people to talk to their peers and policy makers in order to advocate for a sustainable, equitable world.
• Action: AID supports young people in organizing local and national campaigns and initiatives that have positive global impact.

AID is supported by the CarEth Foundation, Connect US Fund, DarMac Foundation, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Ford Foundation, Henry M. Jackson Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, JEHT Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Open Society Institute, Planethood Foundation, Ploughshares Fund, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Stanley Foundation, United Nations Foundation, and Wallace Global Fund and its participating universities.
