Get To Know Us

Helping young people build strong character and realize their full potential as leaders in the community for more than 130 years.

Our core values guide the day-to-day operations of our organization, and remain at the forefront of every decision we make:

Youth First – We keep children and teens at the forefront of every action and decision to elevate members’ voices.

Integrity – We conduct ourselves with honesty and transparency and strive to do the right thing, every day, and every time.

Community – We foster an inclusive culture by celebrating diversity and respecting the inherent dignity and worth of everyone.

Equity – We commit to providing opportunities to create just outcomes that honor the needs, experiences, and values of our community, especially those with marginalized identities.

Innovation – We apply a forward-thinking approach that encourages teamwork, adaptability, strategy, intention, and creativity to address today’s challenges and build positive futures for all members.

We embody the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion through programming, initiatives, and the creation of a safe haven for children and teens to be their authentic selves.

Diversity means seeing and accepting, without bias, all human characteristics, experiences, and identities that make us unique as individuals and members of cultures and communities.

 

Equity means discovering, creating and providing what is required, requested, and measured by each human to feel equal.

 

Inclusion means ensuring everyone is invited to contribute, be seen, be heard, feel valued and be counted in a way that is safe and makes sense for them.
