OUR VALUES
WE VALUE COMMUNITY VOICES, VISION, AND EMPOWERMENT
Our community partners have ambition, courage, and commitment. We assist our partners in gaining aptitude, self-actualizing, and growing in their ability to drive change. Community partners are the center of our story.
WE VALUE ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
With human dignity and respect for the environment at the forefront of our work, we seek high-quality engineering solutions that incorporate local knowledge and contribute to communities' climate resilience. We embrace community leadership at every step of the process to build safe, effective, and long-lasting solutions.
WE VALUE PURPOSEFUL PARTNERING
We strive for humility and recognize that we do not have all the answers. We seek to understand problems as our partners experience and define them. We work to build trust and mutual respect through transparent communication and shared decision-making.
WE VALUE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELLNESS
We hold paramount the health, safety, and wellness of our community partners, volunteers, staff, and all people impacted by our work. We prioritize creating inclusive, accessible, and supportive environments where everyone can thrive and contribute meaningfully.
