Our Values

—

Humility and Authenticity

We understand that we are not the experts of people’s lives. Everyone has their own journey. We approach everyone with a desire and willingness to learn and a belief they are inherently worthy of being heard. This not only relates to those who utilize The Cherry Pit’s services, but within the organization as well, from the Board of Directors to our staff and volunteers.

Accountability

Through humility and authenticity, we are able to experience accountability. We are accountable to not only our stakeholders, but to each other, and those we serve. This accountability is developed and grown in trust, while growing in relationship with one another.

Creativity 

Creativity fuels us; not only in the art we create, but the way we support those who utilize our services, and how we navigate the systems that exist.

Collaboration and Connection

We cannot, and do not want to, do this work on our own. We believe that lasting change happens within relationships and community building Collaborating with and strengthening our connections with young people is at the centre of our work.
