The Iars International Institute

IARS is a leading, international think-tank with a charitable mission to give everyone a chance to forge a safer, fairer and more inclusive society.

We deliver our charitable mission:
By carrying out action research that is independent, credible, focused and current
By acting as a network that brings people and ideas together, communicates best practice and encourages debates on current social policy matters
By supporting the individual (with an emphasis on young people) to carry out their own initiatives to shape decision-making
By being an authoritative, independent and evidence-based voice on current social policy matters.
As an independent, advocacy organisation we have a mission to transform young people’s lives by enabling them to have a better future, and participate equally and democratically in civic life. IARS young people learn to inform policies and practices affecting them whether at a local, regional, national or international level.
