CORE VALUES

We are in the process of updating Interaction’s Core Values. Below you can read the core values that the staff wrote five years ago.

RELATIONSHIP   |   Relationships and inclusion in community lead to resilience. Relationships are the intervention.  

RESPECT   |   People are the experts on their own lives; people know what they need.

JUSTICE   |   Each one of us deserves to have our needs met.

WISDOM   |   We all have wisdom to give and receive, and that exchange nurtures growth.

AWARENESS   |   We can’t understand the world if we don’t understand ourselves, and we can’t understand ourselves if we don’t understand the world.

EFFICACY   |   Everyone has a right to power.

RESPONSIBILITY   |   Power in a hierarchy is shared through transparency.

EQUITY   |   We work to identify, witness, and acknowledge systemic harm done to all marginalized communities. We strive to further awareness,                               allyship, and advocacy to reduce institutional violence.

INTEGRITY   |   We respond with intention.
