Graham Windham
Partnering with families and communities to give kids the foundation for a successful life.
Purpose
Our work is purpose driven. We are conscious of our role in the City and the lives of the families and children we work with, and we are honored to have been given the privilege to do this work. When making program decisions, we very carefully adopt only those approaches that we know will work, and when evaluating our work, we look plainly and unflinchingly at what needs to change. Joining us is a commitment to getting it right.

Strengthen the One Graham approach to programs, staff support, and wellness, information technology and facilities.
Pursue justice by influencing policy makers to adopt policies that promote success for kids, families, and staff.

Values
- Respect
- We respect the inherent dignity and worth of all with whom we work and believe in the strength of family in all of its forms. We are diverse in gender, race, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation, identity and ethnicity. Knowing that we all face challenges in life, we believe that all are capable of developing solutions. Trust is an essential element of respect – trust between kids, families, and each other, and trust among the Graham community, funders, regulators, and the public. There is no trust without integrity, both personal and organizational.
