We believe that being a student does not mean sitting in a desk: the solutions to challenges in education and our communities lie in students, and our job is to unleash that potential. We believe that students are the key stakeholders in their education. The mission of the Iowa Student Learning Institute is to revolutionize Iowa's approach to education through the power of student voice. IowaSLI focuses on organizing opportunities that provide students the ability to network with other students that share their passion and the tools they need to make a difference in their schools. IowaSLI is unique in that all of the organization's work is driven by students, for students with the support of Iowa's education community. All students and educators are invited to join the movement of involving students in taking ownership of their education.
