Our Values

We value equity, inclusion, and dignity for all. We strive for excellence and recognize that our differences make us stronger. We respect and seek out inclusion, realizing we can learn from each other. We insist on a culture of respect, and recognize that words and actions matter. The absence of action and words also matter. We believe in the freedom of speech, and encourage the civil and respectful expression of ideas and opinions.

We all share in the responsibility to create a positive culture and to safeguard equity, inclusion, dignity, and respect for all. Each member of A4E should be a role model for others. We take action when we observe someone being treated unfairly or in a demeaning manner.

Culture

Diversity of ideas and people.

Diversity of thought and people is understanding that the way each person interprets and interacts with the world is reflective of their unique identity, culture and personal experiences.

01

Prioritizing mental health and well-being.

We encourage our people to focus on their mental-health and well-being, and explore ways to create the healthiest environment for our volunteers, where they thrive and feel seen, fulfilled, productive, and supported.

02

Effecting change by inspiring people.

The most rousing social justice campaigns in the world have triumphed through adversity, and so we aim to do the same. We remain inspired by those who use their lived experiences to educate and empower.
