Our Mission and Values that Guide Project SUCCESS Staff, Volunteers, Board, and Partners

Project SUCCESS is a youth-development organization that works with students over a seven-year period, from middle school through high school, to help them develop life-skills that can transform their lives. Through our goal-setting workshops, theater experiences, and special programming/services, students learn to make choices and plan for their future.

Our work is led by a passion for young people. We are here first and foremost because we believe in young people and the power they have to create successful happy lives. The principle of "Kids First" guides decisions and programming.

We meet every person and situation with openness and acceptance. Project SUCCESS operates in a fair and balanced system that offers all students an equal playing field - an environment that is conducive to their growth and to taking the necessary steps toward achieving their dreams.

We maintain a positive outlook, and remind ourselves to always come from a place of love. We recognize that a patient and loving response to any situation is always the best answer.

We are committed to maintaining an open, honest, and ongoing communication with all who are involved with Project SUCCESS. This includes co-workers, students, school staff, parents, families, theater partners, our supporters, and general members of the community.

We are committed to always being dependable, reliable, and trustworthy in order to create a healthy environment in the workplace, schools, theaters, and community.

We value ongoing personal and organizational learning and growing through self-assessment, creative thinking, and problem solving to better serve our mission.

Through teamwork and the constant application of our values, we will develop and maintain healthy relationships with students and families, school and theater staff, co-workers, and people in the community.
