Respect for Communities:
We honor and respect the communities we work with and serve, recognizing their cultural heritage, values, and wisdom. We are committed to fostering inclusivity, dignity, and equity in all interactions.

Integrity in Action:
We conduct our work with honesty, transparency, and integrity, ensuring that every decision and action aligns with our mission and core values. We avoid conflicts of interest and handle any actual or apparent conflicts with fairness and good faith.

Responsibility and Accountability:
We take full responsibility for our decisions, ensuring that they benefit the communities and environments we serve. We remain accountable to the people, land, and ecosystems impacted by our work, and we commit to ethical practices in all aspects of our organization.

Health and Safety Standards:
We are dedicated to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of the youth, elders, and vulnerable demographics we work with. As part of this commitment, we do everything in our capacity to create a safe space for every person we serve. 

Peacemaking and Restorative Justice:
We are sensitive to and actively support efforts that promote peacemaking and restorative justice. These practices are essential in healing relationships, fostering reconciliation, and building stronger communities based on accountability, respect, and shared responsibility.

This Code of Ethics Statement serves as the foundation for our work, ensuring that we remain true to our mission and the values that guide us, as we work toward cultural healing, environmental stewardship, and collective well-being.
