We know people won’t remember what we said. They’ll remember how we made them feel

We are a leadership development company disguised as a thrift store. People will leave better equipped than when they came

We are constantly learning from our communities 

We practice and coach kindness. Kindness communicates a person’s value to you

We look for ways to participate in systemic restoration and love 

We create ease of access for funding that transforms communities 

We generate spaces that lower the barrier of entry for entrepreneurs 

We welcome all changemakers

We practice what we preach. We do what we say we’re going to do

We lean into brave spaces and model how to develop personally 

We pursue radical generosity

We take responsibility for representing our values everywhere.

We are not glamorous - We’re present, mindful, and intentional

We give and receive feedback generously and clearly

We value every person who walks in as valuable as ourselves

We tell the truth

We drive our radical generosity, together

We don’t let bad processes creep in

We don’t blame, we ask what context was missing

We pursue every option for recycling and upcycling 

We are a unique resource for one another. We rely on each other

We know we all have a voice

We prioritize donors to ensure sustainability for our organization and community

We assume everybody has something to teach and learn from somebody 

We value the stories of how organizations have gotten where they are, the relationships they’ve developed, and the knowledge they have of the community that we don’t yet 

We won’t ever operate under the authority of a silo or single person

We listen to everyone 

We disagree, then we commit to the decision
