The
Institute is an impartial and nonpartisan entity. Policy
Programs are designed to assist leaders with diverse viewpoints and
backgrounds to deal more effectively with emerging challenges. It
convenes adult and youth representatives from local communities, the
private sector, government, the academic world, the media, and
elsewhere. The aim is to define issues and alternative approaches to
dealing with them. Reports are prepared that identify advantages and
disadvantages of the more promising policy approaches and, where
appropriate,
areas
of broad agreement.
