At Watson we believe it is essential that our actions aline with our values. This includes who we hire and retain as staff, the volunteers that make up our board of directors, what we set as our strategic objectives, and how we go about our work in our programs. The following values are the foundation of our organization and set the expectation and tone for our working culture.

COMPASSION

• We work from a trauma-informed and non-judgmental perspective and utilize that knowledge and understanding in our service to children and families.

INTEGRITY

• We treat ourselves and others with respect and fairness and strive to always be truthful and ethical in our words and actions.

EXCELLENCE

• We conduct our work to the highest level of distinction on a daily basis. We strive to be better at what we do and are open to and always looking for innovative ways to improve.

STEWARDSHIP
