Values

Equal Opportunity:  Our communities are stronger when we expand opportunity for all. Building a level playing field means that no matter where we live, we all have the right to affordable housing, quality education, quality health care (understanding that health is a culmination of mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social), clean air, and good food.

Common Heritage: All of us are trustees for a common inheritance: our forests, climate, and other ecological systems; our schools, transportation systems, and other public institutions; and our socio-psychological and spiritual systems. In this light, Kore Changes stands for sustaining and improving this heritage, understanding that we are simply borrowing it from our children.

Respect: Kore Changes values open ears, open minds, and mindfulness of the Earth as that which sustains us. We are all working in partnership, with the utmost integrity and respect. Kore Changes recognizes that people are not the same, but they are all of equal worth and importance and therefore entitled to the same degree of respect and acknowledgement.
 
Collaboration: Innovation comes from the healthy mix of cultures and perspectives. Difference is something we celebrate. Kore Changes' promotes collective processes which enable reflection and learning across disciplines.

Community Empowerment: Kore Changes seeks the empowerment of individuals and communities, through using the strengths of the community to bring about desired changes.
