Picture

MISSION​

Example: To transform xxx communities by equipping people to break the cycle of poverty.

OUR VALUES: 

JUSTICE

HOPE

HUMILITY

We believe in the promise of fairness, equality and opportunity for all people. We collaborate with others who share our goals of dismantling institutional racism and the cycle of poverty, and we are committed to examining the role we play in perpetuating these systems. We hold ourselves accountable to these promises.
Our optimism and hope drive us to constantly seek justice. We think creatively about how to solve social problems. Our belief in our participants, staff and community fuels our hope in achieving our mission to break the cycle of poverty.
We are responsive to the ever-evolving needs of the people we serve and the community in which we live. We humbly listen to our clients, our community and one another. The urgency of our work demands that we act boldly, and take risks, even if we make mistakes along the way.
