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.

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 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.
