We believe in empowerment at all organizational levels and this requires treating clients, donors, volunteers, staff, and community partners with respect and care. Positive external and internal relationships empower us to provide the services and resources clients need to achieve access to justice. In doing so, we directly empower our clients and the community we share.

We will achieve our vision through effective communication of our mission and services, collaboration with fiscal and program partners, and creative outreach to clients, donors, and volunteers. With community support, volunteers, and resources, we expand our ability to identify and serve the most vulnerable amongst us. Together, we demonstrate the strength and compassion our community provides.
Excellence
We strive for excellence and integrity in all that we do. We intend to communicate and advocate with respect and professionalism within the organization, with our clients, and within the community at large. We have a fiscal and ethical responsibility to use our resources and knowledge efficiency and effectively, to help as many people as possible identify the best path forward and achieve legal access to justice.
