OUR VALUES

Northwood Neighbourhood Services, through its board, executive director, employees and volunteers, values and respects the dignity and integrity of each individual whose need brings them to us. We express this through respectful interpersonal relationships and our commitment to ensuring that the programs and services offered are need driven and of high quality, with a concern for the emotional, physical, social, financial and spiritual wellbeing of individuals, families and the broader communities.

Northwood Neighbourhood Services values and respects the work of other agencies, groups and individuals in their advocacy and support for newcomers and residents needing settlement and other services. Where possible we express this through cooperation, collaboration and partnerships.

Northwood Neighbourhood Services values and respects the public and private material contributions we receive. We express this by:

Staff, volunteers and neighbourhoods work together to:

our careful stewardship of those resources
employment practices that balance the needs and interests of employees and funders

the careful and responsible design, administration, and delivery of programs and services, and

the distribution of those resources to individuals, families and communities in a manner that is non-discriminatory and balances between fairness and equity to all individuals, families and communities.

NNS strives for a comprehensive and holistic approach to the provision of services, based on an understanding of the requirements of each service user, displays compassion and creates a safe environment for our clients, regardless of their race, colour, faith, gender, sexual 4 orientation, age and ability. We empower our clients to become agents of change and contributing community members.

Staff, volunteers and neighbourhoods work also together to:

Identify and discuss issues and concerns and develop actionable activities
Develop and provide services and programs to meet the needs of the community
