Our Mission:

CultureConnect helps empower the youth and families of our communities to create a future of social justice, global engagement, and cultural competence.

Our Values:

Amongst the values CultureConnect holds dearest are:

• Diversity: We believe that diversity enriches our lives. We celebrate and respect the many cultures and perspectives represented in our communities and beyond - and seek to amplify them by cultivating an environment of inclusion.

Collaboration: We seek and foster partnerships that help us accomplish our mission. We actively solicit and carefully consider the views of others and strive to listen and learn at least as much as we talk and teach.

• Connection: We recognize that human connection creates empathy, one of the most valuable skills our young people can learn. Our programs exist to create new and meaningful connections and to promote mutual understanding.

• Dynamism: Creativity and flexibility allow us to better assist our communities as they evolve, adapt, and prosper in a changing world.

• Bravery: We value the integrity and strength to do the right thing even when it’s not the easy thing.

• Fun: Young people are our main reason for being. We value the fun that helps keep them engaged with us and our programs and the world around them.
