Educate!’ 5 Cultural Tenets:
- We Put Youth First – The youth
we serve come first. Always. In everything. That means we wake up thinking
of ways we can serve youth even better and get the highest impact out of
every dollar that we spend. It means Educate! doesn’t own a single
vehicle, because we’d rather take the bus if it means one more student can
participate. It means making every decision like the future depends on it
— because if we get our way, it does. - We Are Always Learning – When
you work at Educate!, educating yourself is part of your job too. We
encourage every employee to find the best book on management; share the
latest article on graphic design; bring in your favorite college mentor;
or meet the researcher pushing the edge of the field. We are always
thirsty for knowledge and love to share. - We Only Solve a Problem Once –
We are allergic to band-aids so we love the person who brings the new
system to solve the problem for good, even problems we haven’t recognized
yet. - We Are Flexible – We thrive on
change — we’re driving it. We are growing every day, so we have to adapt
quickly to meet new challenges, and our team keeps up. - We Exceed Expectations – We
assume we can achieve the impossible because we already have, year after
year. We want our staff to create your own challenges, ask the toughest
questions, and dream scary big!
