Values


Trust, Transparency, and Openness

For democracy to function well it must be open and transparent to all. We model this in our work and seek to nurture a culture of respect and trust in all we do.

Passion and joy in our work

Our work is serious and important, and we are bringing our passion for change to bear every day. We take joy in our work and in the knowledge that we are of service to our workers and community.

Inspiration and Empowerment

We are committed to inspiring communities to find solutions, and we work to empower young people to become effective, committed, principled, inspiring and capable leaders.

Innovation and Collaboration

We know that the future is uncertain, and solutions may come from unexpected places and in unexpected forms. We strive to be a collaborative, "open-source" organization that continuously adapts and innovates in our work, while remaining focused on pragmatic results.

Reciprocity and Capacity Building

We seek transformational change in our communities and our democracy, as well as in ourselves. We are committed to building stronger communities with the ability to solve problems, and are committed to ensuring that our staff and volunteers receive a valuable and inspiring experience.

Inclusiveness

We strive for meaningful engagement with communities and democracy. We do this through coalition building  and co-operation in our work and a deep commitment to engaging communities of color, rural communities, and low-income communities.

Professionalism, Perseverance and Dedication

Change is difficult and requires persistence and commitment. We recognize that long road ahead, and will work as dedicated professionals toward our mission and goals.
