- Treat all with respect
We respect the inherent dignity and worth of all with whom we work. We are diverse in gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. We respect everyone we meet knowing that we all face challenges in life and we believe that all are capable of developing solutions. Trust is an essential element of respect – trust between kids, families, and each other, and trust among the agency, funders, regulators and the public. There is no trust without integrity, both personal and organizational.
- Promote Safety and Well-Being
Kids and families come first. Our decisions and actions are always driven by their need for safety, family, education and opportunity. We recognize the effects of trauma and provide a safe and nurturing environment where people can heal. We support each other in the work that we do.
- Encourage learning
We are committed to continuous self-reflection and an insistence on best practices, with rewards and celebration for excellent performance. We accomplish very little alone. We achieve the best results through active collaboration with all who are involved, both within and outside the agency. Genuine, lasting solutions come from working together. Our team includes kids and families, allowing them (as the experts of their families) to lead the way.
- Support opportunities for growth
We value a culture that provides opportunities to develop, practice and master skills, with supports along the way. We recognize what we do well and where we need to partner with others. We recognize that setbacks are part of growth and behavior change. We take every opportunity to celebrate progress and the accomplishment of goals that kids, families, and we have set for ourselves.
- Thrive in life
We are bold and passionate about this work. We enjoy empowering kids, families, and each other, helping us grow stronger so that we can sustain progress and thrive in life.
