Our Mission Statement and Core Values

At last night's meeting we approved our mission statement and our core values:

The mission of the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Education Committee is

To empower and uplift community members of all ages by facilitating opportunities to both teach and learn from each other.

Core Values

Collective and Personal Responsibility—We share responsibility for each other, just as we are responsible for our selves. We respect one another unconditionally. The strength of our community depends on the tenacity and cohesiveness of its people. We know it is up to us to make it happen and we know we need to do what it takes.

Excellence and Value—We strive for achieving excellence in all we do and aim to add identifiable value to the lives of those around us.

Possibility—We are optimistic in our approach of known and unknown challenges.

Voice—We embrace the opinions of one another and take ownership over ensuring that the wide variety of voices of our community are heard and if not they are sought out.
