Values
- Respect
- Knowing that Black and Brown people face the worst systemic racism, we are committed to furthering anti-racist efforts centering on anti- Black racism. Progress on anti-Black racism is progress for all. We carry out intentional inclusiveness for all, in celebration of all races, genders, religions, beliefs, sexual orientations, identities, and ethnicities. We respect the inherent dignity and worth of all with whom we work and believe children, families, and
communities are experts of their lives. Knowing that we all face challenges in life, we believe in the strength of family in all of its forms and that all are capable of developing solutions. Trust is an essential element of respect - trust between children, youth, families, and each other, and trust among the Graham community, funders, regulators and
the public. There is no trust without integrity.
