CLUB CODE & CORE VALUES
PUT YOUTH FIRST.
We are at our best and most impactful when we do right by the youth we serve.
We make decisions with youth's well-being at the center. We walk alongside youth and empower them to be the stewards of their path in life. We elevate the voices of kids, youth, families, and the communities who need us most. We examine our own biases and question our own assumptions to best serve youth. We check our ego at the door and think we (the collective effort) before me.
CARE DEEPLY & ENGAGE FULLY.
We create impactful change by being fully present, engaged, and invested in contributing to strategy, perspective, and creativity.
We approach interactions with kindness, compassion, and respect - we genuinely care about people and show it. We are brave and vulnerable and build safe and welcoming communities. We do not gossip. We talk to each other, not about each other. We care about ourselves so that we can be there for others. We strive to do the right thing every day, every time and treat each day as a new day with new opportunities.
FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR COMMITMENTS.
Strong relationships built on trust drive change. We build trust with youth and families, each other, and the community by delivering on our promises.
We do what we say we are going to do and are held accountable to established expectations. We take responsibility for knowing the expectations and goals of our role. We don't over promise to ensure that we are able to deliver on commitments while balancing competing priorities. We take responsibility when we can't follow through on a commitment. We own our mistakes, act to repair harm, and make amends to strengthen our community.
COMMUNICATE, COLLABORATE, & CLARIFY
Clear and consistent communication builds shared understanding, helps us align in our efforts, and sets ourselves and others up for success in support of youth. We deliver better services and solutions when people's ideas are valued and heard.
We set expectations that align with our vision, values, and core focus. We effectively express thoughts, feelings, and ideas in individual and group situations. We listen to understand and value different perspectives. We approach situations with an open mindset, not seeking to be right and go our own path but rather to collaborate and get to the right answer together. We are curious. We seek to understand and communicate the context of situations and information. We ask questions when we need clarity and provide clarity when it is needed from us.
EMPOWER & BE EMPOWERED.
Our greatest assets are the unique abilities and perspectives of our people. We represent our interests in a responsible, self-determined way, and push ourselves to make positive change.
We are resourceful and respond with flexibility to make things work when necessary. We value and seek feedback and see it as an opportunity for growth. We give each other permission to fail and reflect in order to learn from our experiences. We choose courage over comfort by facing difficult tasks and conversations rather than avoiding them. We resolve conflicts as quickly as they arise. We encourage each other and show appreciation for those who go above and beyond.
