Every person should feel included, engaged and valued.

Everyone in the community is part of the team. The team is only as strong as its weakest member. It benefits everyone (the whole) when each member (part) feels productive, valued and appreciated. It benefits everyone when all members of the team are healthy, responsible, independent enough to care for themselves, have sufficient tools to care for themselves, and have sufficient education and guidance to make healthy choices. We live by a code of universal respect for every individual and anything less is not tolerated. In turn, every member is expected to be responsible to make good choices to care for themselves appropriately, to stay safe and healthy; if they are unable, then the community will step in to supervise and assist them.
