Infographic describing IDRA’s asset-based student leadership programs, including the Valued Youth Partnership, Youth Leadership Now, VisionCoders, Youth TechXperts and Digital Ambassadors. This infographic highlights IDRA’s long-standing commitment to asset-based education and student leadership. The resource features programs that support student engagement, academic success, college readiness and community leadership through mentoring, STEM learning and family engagement.

For decades, IDRA has upheld a belief that all students have intelligence, potential and power beyond what schools often expect. We call it our valuing philosophy. 

But it is not a mere attitude; it requires intentional strategies, like creating purposeful experiences in classrooms, recognizing student strengths and contributions, and maintaining positive relationships between teachers and students.

The IDRA Valued Youth Partnership’s astounding success over 40 years demonstrates what happens when schools use asset-based practices. Never one to stop innovating, IDRA has applied the bedrock qualities of youth leadership to many other programs over the years. This graphic shows some of our most recent examples. 

  • IDRA’s Valued Youth Partnership has a 98% school persistence success rate over four decades.
  • Asset-based practices help students strengthen attendance, academic skills and self-esteem.
  • VisionCoders combines computer science learning with problem solving and educational game design.
  • Digital Ambassadors students identify technology needs and lead community technology training.
  • Youth TechXperts students build STEM and technology support skills while developing leadership experience.
  • Youth Leadership Now combines mentoring and family leadership strategies to support student success.
