Our Core Values

Power

Power is the ability to achieve purpose.  We believe in our individual and collective ability to realize positive change through the just exercise of power.

Mindfulness

Non-judgmental attention to the present moment enables us to look at ourselves honestly.  We believe this purposeful reflection promotes empathy towards ourselves and others.

Interconnectedness

Learning involves the connection of ideas, information, people and experiences.   We seek to find and build upon the points of connection in ourselves and in our community.

Responsibility

Our actions impact our lives and the lives of others.  We challenge and support each other to consider, understand, and own the effects of our actions.

Courage

Risk-taking is a critical part of learning.  We celebrate the courage necessary for taking risks and persevering through setbacks and failures.

Transparency

Clarity of intentions, expectations, and feedback ensures that everyone has the power to advance their goals.  We strive to be open and honest in all of our communication.
