Our Values

We value individuality. 

Individuality is vital to society. The elimination of stereotypes, being authentic and adding our uniqueness to the world is important.

We value empowerment.

Each core member has potential and is unique. Through the use of personal growth plans, the staff assist each individual in reaching their full potential.

We value mutual respect.

Recognizing that we live in a diverse community is an advantage which encourages discovery and creativity. Both, respect for individuals and respect for the values of the Friendship Ark community involves balancing personal autonomy with the goals and mission of the organization.

We value dignity.

The glue that holds our relationships together is the mutual recognition of the desire to be seen, heard, listened to and treated fairly.
