ADI’s philosophy privileges the lived experiences of members of the community in all aspects of our work.  This stems from our belief that communities must play a central role as actors and stakeholders in articulating, facilitating, mobilizing and executing efforts that advance transformational justice in the Adirondack Park and surrounding areas.  ADI provides programming, outreach, mobilization, rapid response and public policy efforts to established educational communities, businesses and organizations and Adirondack residents.  We look at what the challenges are and then focus on solutions.  These solutions are focused in 5 areas: Education, Commerce & Economy, Recreation, Environmental Justice and Public Policy/Interest.  Click on the solutions below for more information on our initiatives.
