ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES
As an organization, Teens Grow Greens embraces
3 key values: Love, Learning, and Integrity.
Each week our staff gathers to share, plan, and solve problems, but before we do, we share personal
thrills, weights, ideas, or gratitudes
(or what we like to call TWIGs) while our colleagues
listen and acknowledge us.
This is only one way in which we keep our 3 key values in the forefront of all that we do, whether during work or outside of work.
We commit to these definitions of
LOVE, LEARNING, and INTEGRITY.
What do they mean to you?
LOVE means that we will
-
foster belonging.
-
care for our own and each other's minds, bodies, and spirits.
-
seek common ground while respecting each others’ differences.
-
accept each other’s ideas and emotions and listen empathetically.
-
commit ourselves to acts of love within our organization and beyond.
LEARNING means that we will
-
inquire every day.
-
create every day.
-
adapt every day.
-
take risks every day.
-
commit to transformation every day.
INTEGRITY means that we will
-
ensure all that we do has what Priya Parker calls a “bold, sharp purpose."
-
commit to justice within our organization and beyond.
-
commit to equity within our organization and beyond.
-
do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
-
acknowledge, share, and live our values.
