Diversity
Diversity is key to having a well rounded outlook on any problem you may face. The more diverse a team is, is the more life experiences and viewpoints you will be privy to.
Empathy
We ask our members to come to us as they are, so we must remember to be open to meet them where they are.
Integrity
In order to keep our space a safe space, we have to make sure all of our decisions are directly inline with our mission and overall vision for our members' safety.
