To that end, ACCESS acknowledges that experience and qualifications can be developed through personal and professional experiences, paid and non-paid opportunities, and, of course, through lived experience.

Values

• ANTI-RACISM -
  We commit to a culture grounded in anti-racism and challenging anti-blackness. This will require us to be bold and brave, and we expect and welcome discomfort, understanding this to be a necessary part of the process which will lead to an expansion of thinking and organizational growth. This commitment must be followed up with actions to ensure we are aligning to our values through all levels.
• ACCOUNTABILITY -
  We believe in accountability where we take responsibility for our actions and that when harm occurs, it is addressed in a timely manner. We understand that accountability is a key component of growth and building trust.
• CLARITY and SPECIFICITY -
  We seek a culture of clarity where we all have a clear understanding of roles, responsibilities and other organizational processes. If we aren’t sure, we commit to asking for clarity. We also commit to being more specific, explicit and inclusive in our language and to avoid vagueness which can lead to misalignment. We commit to defining the key terms most important to us.
• COLLABORATION -
  We commit to a culture of collaboration that brings us together to contribute our expertise in service of our mission and vision. We believe that collaboration helps us find better solutions to problems and learn from each other.
• COMPASSION -
  We commit to compassion towards one another and to ourselves. When mistakes are made, because they will be, we will remain open-minded and be compassionate to ourselves and each other as a way towards growth.
• LEARNING -
  We commit to a culture of continuous learning. This includes creating an environment where it’s okay to make mistakes as long as we are learning from past patterns and actions so that we can be better for the future.
• RESPECT -
  We have a shared goal and while there may be a difference in how we get there, we are open to learning. This means respecting all voices, perspectives, lived experiences, work styles and communication styles.
• TRUST -
  We believe in trust that is not situational and/or conditional. Trust in each other's individual gifts and in other’s ability to own their work and responsibilities.
