WHO WE ARE

It is the promise of our mission that youth who receive services are less likely to continue cycles of violence and is realized in the lives of thousands of program participants across Metro Denver each year.

OUR VALUES
COMPASSION
We practice empathy by understanding that everyone has their own unique traumas and experiences, seeing the best in ourselves and others, and fostering a supportive response to violence and suffering..
COLLABORATION
We recognize our strengths and limitations, leaning into the expertise of our equal partners across teams and between organizations. We integrate the needs of the broader community in setting goals and establishing partnerships.
INNOVATION
While building upon our existing strengths, we strive to amplify our impact by using and developing revolutionary practices.
INCLUSIVITY + EQUITY
We acknowledge that there are barriers to accessing resources for different populations and that we do not all start at the same place. We work through intentional action and fairness to ensure that all people are welcomed and valued and strive to include diverse populations in organizational decisions and directions. We remain conscious of our own conduct and ever responsive to the needs of the communities that we serve.
INTEGRITY
We bring our authentic selves – even when it is uncomfortable – to address the challenges of our mission. We will be honest, accountable, and transparent. We will enter our work courageously with a learner’s mindset. We will use clear and kind communication to develop connections inside and outside the organization.
