Instituto's mission is to build sustained political power with low-income and communities of color in Arizona. We believe that every community has the inherent leadership, capacity, and resources to create its own solutions. Our programs build effective and sustaining advocacy capacity among low-income and communities of color. At Instituto, we accelerate organizations by focusing on leadership development and scaling electoral and advocacy programs. We also incubate organizations and solutions that will help mobilize voters and build political capacity in places that have historically been under-invested in.
