OUR VALUES
Community: We believe community is at the heart of our work. Our work is centered in the reinforcement and empowerment of our collective humanity to drive social change, support our most vulnerable residents and create an inclusive, equitable and aware community.
Collaboration: We understand that the complexity of our work underscores the value to collaborate with community initiatives; nonprofit, private and government sectors; and funding and volunteer resources to advance measurable change through volunteerism. Volunteerism, at its core, values connections.
Courage: We are not timid. Creating change requires the creativity and boldness to explore, champion and even fail trying, new ideas and partnerships to build a world not yet recognized.
