Equality and Justice & Respect for diversity:
Mutual respect requiring us to recognize the innate worth of all people and the value of diversity. Differences in ethnicity, ideology, values, gender, race, religion, language, and personality should be appreciated and accepted, rather than ridiculed or rejected. SRWCS strives to engage a growing base of participants inclusive of that diversity.
Courage and Conviction:
It is requiring us to be creative and radical, bold and innovative – without fear of failure – in pursuit of making the greatest possible impact on the causes of poverty.
Honesty and Transparency:
Accountability at all levels for the effectiveness of our actions and open in our judgments and communications with others.
Responsibility:
Individuals should exercise knowledgeable, responsible choice in the interest of the greater good, rather than to remain passive, ignorant or self-centered.
