Core Values

Relationships
We believe in the power of relationships to change lives and systems. We stand in our long-time commitment to putting people first, both through built-in flexible programming to fit the individual needs of our participants, and also in how we allocate resources, so that staff has time to build authentic relationships with mentors and youth.

Cultural Fairness
We believe that cultivating strong identities is particularly important for building a more just and equal world with our clients. This can show up in many ways in our programs from having strong presence represented at all levels of leadership and staff, to training our mentors on how to cultivate positive cultural identity with clients, and highlighting the contributions and leadership in our communities.
Empowerment – We believe in equipping individuals from historically marginalized and underserved communities with the tools and resources they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
Resilience – We promote strength, perseverance, and the ability to overcome adversity through mental health support and community programs.
Opportunity – We advocate for equitable access to resources, education, employment, and entrepreneurial opportunities for individuals from historically marginalized and underserved communities.
Community – We foster a supportive environment where individuals can connect, heal, and thrive together.
Integrity – We uphold honesty, transparency, and accountability in all our programs and initiatives.
Innovation – We seek new ways to address systemic barriers and create lasting change through education, advocacy, and resource development.
Our Commitment to Anti-Racism

Our board and staff unanimously commit to becoming an antiracist organization. We examine our internal systems through a racial and cultural lens. We change our systems to ensure that the lived experience and contributions are prioritized and valued as equally as white dominant experiences and contributions. We will hold ourselves accountable to families, youth, and leaders who are black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).
