About Our Values:

-
Focus on

Excellent Results:

Winning for Children and Families - Denying people of color and people experiencing economic hardship excellent outcomes from public organizations is longstanding and only perpetuates inter-generational racism and poverty.

We pursue excellence at a world-class level because our children and families deserve nothing less.

We focus on excellent results, generated by excellent daily action because intentions alone will not enable our children to lead fulfilling lives.

- **Courageous Action: We do Hard Things All day, Every Day -** Our work is centered on reversing the impact of generational racism and poverty on children of color from low-income families. This work is inherently challenging and will never be easy. Our mission requires that, through concerted action, we embrace, confront, and overcome adversity.
- **Resilient Solutions Focus: Find a Way or Make One -** We doggedly pursue solutions to every problem we confront. For every problem, we find or invent a solution. We are smart, optimistic, and thoughtful in crafting solutions, but also timely, recognizing that our children only have one life to live. We embrace a growth mindset, believing that simply because we have not achieved our ultimate aims today does not mean that we cannot tomorrow. We chase the continuous improvement of ourselves, our interpersonal relationships, our teams, and our organization.
