Educate Cultural Values:
1. 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!
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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!
