Values

  • People over Profit

    Believing that business can be a powerful force for good, we choose to do what is right over what is convenient or easy.

  • Radical Hospitality

    Create a space for people to bring their authentic, whole selves without fear of judgement or hostility. A space where people are not defined by their past and are seen, heard and valued with the dignity that comes with being human.

  • Bold Humility

    Owning our strengths and limitations, we reject the lure of arrogance and pride and choose to boldly raise others up.

  • Unrelenting Hope

    Discovering and sharing the magic that lives in each one of us, we will press on, keeping our eyes focused on the future we are building together.

  • Interdependence

    As our well-being is tied to the well-being of others, we embrace the responsibility of being our sister’s/brother’s keeper.
