About us
How we work
We have an intentional work community that supports all team members to flourish.
We see our work environment as a small, meaningful microcosm of community life and we love approaching the work behind the work in ways that bring out the best in all of us. We work in a flexible, self-managed environment, supporting and trusting one another to make informed, impactful decisions that help our work grow in new and creative ways.
Guiding principles
We love what we do so much that we have created a set of principles to guide our experience at work. These principles are informed by meaningful experiences unique to each of us and we value their place in our daily working life.
Purpose led community
We are a community of purpose, continually deepening and enhancing the impact of our work.
Hopeful and strengths focused
We work with a spirit of hope and optimism, approaching progress by focusing on the potential present in people, situations and society, rather than only on fixing problems.
Brave, resilient, and supported
We approach challenges with bravery and resilience, secure in the knowledge that we are in a supportive environment where it is safe to take risks and learn from mistakes.
Shared responsibility
We are a collective and share responsibility for supporting the health of our core purpose, our projects and each other.
Collaborative leadership
We uphold structures that facilitate collaboration and connection and we take pride in stepping forward to lead the work in different ways, at different times.
Authenticity and trust
We bring our authentic selves to work every day, knowing we are valued as human beings. We celebrate the diversity of our lived experiences and the unique contributions of each team member, trusting one another to work with freedom and flexibility.
Openness and honest connection
We appreciate the connections we have with others and create a space where we can be vulnerable, honest and open, gently challenging ideas to bring new perspectives to our work.
Growth through reflection
Accepting that growth isn’t always easy, we encourage a culture of self-reflection and discovery to continue developing ourselves. We take joy in seeing one another flourish and adapt with change.
Commitment to continuous improvement
We are committed to continuous, never-ending improvement, consistently reflecting on and evaluating the outcomes of our work to create even more meaningful impact.
