Our Values
-
Culture: We promote cultural health and understanding, recognizing that culture is an essential lens through which we learn and grow.
-
Partnership: We will be successful only when youth, parents, schools, organizations and government are committed and work together to achieve long-term results.
-
Meaning (relevance): Youth learn best when it is meaningful and relevant to them.
-
Quality (research): We promote both practice-based reflection and research-based knowledge to improve learning opportunities.
-
Learning: We each have something to learn and to contribute; we value learning not only as our end but as part of our process.
