Caring, giving to the community
It is our intention to promote caring relationships and to form a Village Network that contributes to our community and benefits others as well as ourselves in a meaningful way.

Balance
We give what we can, avoiding over-commitment. We also encourage a balance between giving and receiving, contributing our talents and energy while nurturing our own well-being.

Competence and excellence
We value competence in our work, committing ourselves to a high level of service.

Collaboration, cooperation, teamwork
We are committed to working harmoniously and cooperatively with each other, willing to compromise and seek win-win approaches to problems. We place a high value on collaboration with other community organizations.
 

Inclusivity

Legacy

Creativity, new ideas, innovation
All are important as we build our community.
