Our Values
route/cause has five core values that are lived by us every day.
Our core values reflect what is truly important to us as an organization, as a team, as collaborators, and as people. They guide our decisions, beliefs, actions, evaluations, and how we see the vision of collective social impact.
These values do not change from time to time or situation to situation—they are long-standing commitments we make to everyone involved with route/cause.
-
Accountability is how we honour our commitments.
We are all responsible for the impact we make. -
Leadership is accessible to all, not restricted to specific roles or individuals.
We believe leadership is the ability to meaningfully guide others in a caring and responsible manner that leaves people feeling empowered to serve and learn. -
Collaboration is the foundation for a sustainable, just, and innovative society.
We work together to build bridges on common ground and learn from each other as equals. -
Empathy is embodied is how we see and relate to one another.
It helps us understand the challenges from different perspectives and the possibilities that enable us to meet the needs of the communities we serve. -
Education is an essential element and instrument for social change.
We value education as a life-long, transformative endeavour and as means to building more inclusive societies. We are continuous learners on a quest for progress.
The ‘status quo’ is not our status.
