OUR VALUES
HopeWe believe hope and action change the world. Seeking truth and increasing knowledge informs individuals and inspires society to be more just, equitable, and humane.
EducationWe believe education counterbalances prejudice, antisemitism, racism, sexism, and indifference. Lessons learned from our past inform our present and shape our future.
AdvocacyWe believe students and teachers can learn from world-class change-makers and advocate for civic engagement and human rights in their communities and beyond.
InclusivityWe believe in celebrating inclusivity and diversity. By incorporating the voices and experiences of others, participants will become more informed, tolerant, and compassionate global citizens. We believe this is especially supportive for young adults seeking a sense of purpose and belonging.
StewardshipWe believe in wisely investing in our mission, through prudent management of funds, sound and ethical business practices, and recruiting and training skilled staff, speakers, and board members.
