Our Vision, Mission, Goals, & Values
Our Vision and Mission
- To work together with people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life on our shared common ground of teaching skills for safety, respect, confidence, and kindness for everyone, everywhere.
- To prepare children, teens, and adults, including those with special needs, with the skills and knowledge they need to prevent and stop harm such as bullying, abuse, harassment, assault, and other emotional, social, or physical violence – and to develop safe and strong relationships that will reduce isolation, protect mental health, and increase happiness and success in life.
Our Goals
- To provide effective, upbeat, and empowering child protection, positive communication, advocacy, personal safety, and self-defense programs for people of all ages and abilities – locally and around the world.
- To keep developing an international community of leaders who are dedicated to supporting a long-lasting organization that can sustain this work.
Our Values
We will do our best to be:
- Honest. We are committed to creating an honest community where people can and will speak up clearly and respectfully about problems and solutions in doing our work together. We have a deep commitment to ethical practices in all we do.
- Evolving. We are always looking for ways to improve and are open to new ideas.
- Fair. We develop clear win-win agreements and uphold high standards. We are committed to applying them equally and fairly to people at all levels of involvement with our organization.
- Supportive. We encourage people to take good care of their wellbeing and to make their health and their loved ones their top priorities.
- Productive. We will be effective and efficient in how we use our own time and the time of others.
- Safe. We are committed to ensuring the physical and emotional safety of everyone involved with Kidpower.
- Collaborative. We will work as a team with each other, with our supporters, and with our students to bring the best services possible to the most people possible.
- Pro-Active. We anticipate problems and take action sooner rather than later. We anticipate new challenges, address problems promptly, and get help to find solutions if we are stuck.
- Courageous. We will stand up for our work. We will not let fear, embarrassment, inconvenience, or discomfort prevent us from working towards our goals and upholding our values.
- Joyful. We will stay enthusiastic, hopeful, and positive in all our communications with others, even when we need to set boundaries or refuse someone’s request.
- Appreciative. We will honor everyone’s contributions and acknowledge people for what they do.
- Inclusive. We welcome people of any age, culture, religion, race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, any kind of disability, political belief, nationality, marital status, or level of income, who share our commitment to integrity and safety for everyone and who can join us in upholding our values.
