MISSION

Our mission is to help improve the quality of life for the communities in which we serve.

VISION

Our vision is to work in partnership with communities in Latin America, especially with Jalapa, Nicaragua. We seek collaboration with these communities on imagining and realizing projects that will serve in significant ways, and we endeavor to engage volunteers in work that enriches understanding of the cultures and needs of these communities.

VALUES

  • Work in partnership with local citizens and organizations to undertake projects of the most benefit to their communities.
  • Listen to and respect the needs of each community served.
  • Learn from our experiences.
  • Value each human being we meet and serve.
  • Serve all persons regardless of race, creed, social, or economic status placing particular emphasis on serving the poorest and most needy.
  • Enrich spiritual experience as we work, play and grow together.
  • Demonstrate that people of various cultural and faith perspectives can work together for healing and hope.
