OUR VALUES

We are committed to living by these values in every aspect of our work.

Compassion: We are dedicated to improving the lives of those we serve and to treating all with passion, dignity, and respect. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with an open heart, understanding, and acceptance.

Integrity: We believe that when we work from a foundation of respect for each person and diverse cultures, we can create positive change in our communities. We hold ourselves and others accountable for decisions and behaviors within both the agency and the community, maintaining the highest standards of honesty and professionalism.

Inclusion: We embrace and champion diversity in the workplace and among the people we serve. Centering equity and inclusion for all means a commitment to anti-racism work and respect for all individuals regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or immigration status.

Collaboration: We know we are stronger when we work together, and strong teams build strong organizations that deliver quality results. We work together in partnership with organizations, policymakers, supporters, and the communities we serve to advance our mission.

Empowerment: We recognize that organizations and individuals with lived experiences and members of the wider community where refugees are settled have much to offer to resettlement and should be given the opportunity to contribute to decisions that may well affect them.
