Statement of Values

Metro Volunteers' work is guided by six core values that are integrated into our culture, governance, programs, operations and organizational identity.

Civic Engagement
We value the power of all people to contribute service to their community and to each other.

Collaboration
We value our relationships with other public and private organizations, locally and nationally, and are committed to collaboration and partnership to achieve shared goals.

Respect
We value the respect of the community. We demonstrate and earn respect through honesty, integrity, responsiveness and accountability in all we do.

Inclusiveness
We value an inclusive organizational culture that is friendly, dynamic, flexible, celebratory, and respectful. We express these values internally and externally through open and clear communications, and by being intentional and thoughtful in how we engage with individuals and the community.

Excellence
We value excellence and strive to achieve it through expertise, thoughtful planning and by offering high-quality services and products.

Innovation
We value innovation as essential to serving our constituents and our community. We foster innovation through continual learning, willingness to take risks, disconcertment and reflection.
