Our Values

We are honored by the opportunity to connect Oregonians from all walks of life with one another and with the decisions that affect their lives, and we are inspired and enlivened by the good ideas, wisdom, and can-do spirit that community members share with us every day.

In our work we strive to::

  • Center the community and nurture belonging
  • Expand engagement to include every Oregonian in the decisions that affect their lives
  • Create opportunities to increase our own, the communities', and our public partners' civic skills and capacity
  • Reflect on and learn from every project
  • Have fun and bring fun along the way!
