Values
Authenticity – we strive to be genuine and transparent in all interactions, both within the organisation, our participants and with all external stakeholders. We believe this will encourage open communication and honesty, and in turn create a culture of trust and mutual respect
Accountability – we will take ownership and responsibility for our actions and outcomes. This means being transparent about mistakes, learning from them, and taking steps to prevent them in the future. A core value of accountability encourages a culture where continuous improvement and organisational growth thrive.
Integrity – we maintain strong ethical principles and adhere to the highest standards of honesty, fairness, trust, equality and professionalism. This includes an unwavering commitment to always treating others with respect, and conducting our work with all stakeholders in a manner that is both ethical and responsible.
Meaningful Work – our belief in meaningful work not only applies within our own organisation but in delivering programs that provide the tools for our participants to deliver meaningful and transformative outcomes to their communities.
