Our Values . . .

We believe that an emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally healthy child is the product of a supportive, well-balanced family structure, and to that end:

  • We believe that all women and children have the right to live in a loving, supportive environment free of emotional and physical abuse.
  • We believe that all parents should have access to effective parental education.
  • We believe that all children should have access to quality health care.
  • We believe that children of all ages in our community deserve access to quality, affordable child care at all times.
  • We believe that children of all ages have the right to a quality education and the resources to achieve it.

We believe in providing a supportive environment for our membership, and to that end:

  • We believe in respecting the dignity, time and contributions of all people.
  • We believe in offering exceptional training programs for women that draw upon and expand their potential skills.
  • We believe in building relationships through shared interests.
  • We believe in honoring the individuality and different perspectives of our members and our community partners.

We believe in providing an opportunity for our membership to make a bigger impact in our community than any one member could make by herself, and to that end:
