We join this community as our authentic selves, and commit to stepping out of our institutional selves in order to build personal relationships and collaborate with openness, honesty, and transparency. In so doing, we fully respect – but are not unduly constrained by – the views and interests of our employers, and can remain in the community on moving from one employer to another.

We recognize with humility that we are one person within a much larger, interconnected world that needs us human beings to co-create a more sustainable, peaceful, and equitable future. We are grounded in our shared sense of purpose and optimism that a better world can be achieved, and make decisions with the intent to create the best outcome for all and not only ourselves or select others.

We believe in every person’s potential to live for the greater good, and assume without judgement that every team member aims to act with integrity and alignment with our shared vision and mission. We are here to help each other succeed and empower each other to become our best selves.

We seek to practice and inspire collaboration more than competition. We are open to connect and explore through dialogue the possibilities of co-creation towards the greater good with any individual or group of individuals regardless of their cultural or religious background, race, gender, age, sexuality, political beliefs, or field of work. We know that the sharing of learnings, resources, and skills is necessary to achieve (eco)systemic change.

We respond to problems and conflicts with solutions that are practical, creative, and inclusive of diverse voices in our community. We act with urgency and momentum towards our common goals, while maintaining dynamic teams and structures that are agile and fluid in nature. We share openly the meaningful and measurable outcomes of our work.
