Achieving our Mission
Meaningful Action
Work is meaningful action that creates a positive change in the world.
Real Relationships
Relationships at Alternatives in Action are built on a willingness to be known and know others, to care about each other while holding the highest expectation for what each of us is capable of. As a foundation for relationships, we believe that youth, children, and adults are inherently wise and resourceful.
Continual Learning
We are a learning organization and strive to create developmentally responsive learning environments for adolescents. We ground our learning within a performance-based culture using group development strategies. Our adults mirror active learning along with our youth.
Co-Creation
Partnerships between youth and adults at Alternatives in Action happen through co-creating the organization and its activities. We value and promote youth voice and leadership throughout the organization.
