Growth

We are committed to personal and organization growth, questioning the “why” of our actions, taking chances, challenging the process, and growing from our mistakes.

Empathy

We believe that empathy is foundational to our alliance with our participants and our relationships to each other. We understand that being a trauma-informed organization requires us to create safe spaces, value inclusivity, share the load with our teammates and participants, and hold others’ experiences as sacred.

Integrity

We consistently seek to do right by our community and each other. By transparently sharing our stories and lessons learned, valuing honesty, and following through on our promises, we develop shared trust and organizational unity.

Empowerment

We are a strengths-based organization that recognizes the capacity, knowledge, and potential of employees and participants. We are committed to providing tools, resources, and opportunities to develop employees’ and participants’ individual talents and capabilities.

Collaboration

We value creating collaborative solutions with each other and our community partners. We seek to advance organizational cohesion, have open, respectful dialogue, and utilize multiple perspectives to drive decision-making.
