­­­Our Commitment

We are dedicated to improving the lives and futures of children, youth, and families as we serve communities with holistic and trans formative opportunities.

Our Vision

We strive to build strong, equitable, and sustainable communities through effective education, workforce, and health and wellness opportunities that address deeply-ingrained challenges, and we set high expectations for academic achievement, living-wage job placement, improved community health and safety, and increased constituent engagement.

Our Core Values

Excellence

We believe that every child, youth, and adult who steps through our doors has the ability to learn and the potential to be great. We recognize that the strength of the community lies in the resilience of each resident, and we nurture the abilities of all participants to achieve a positive collective impact.

Collaboration

We believe that communities must be heard and actively involved from the very beginning. We listen, and we respond with empathy. We keep families, stakeholders, and constituents involved in our planning and programming, and we engage communities with high-quality services and opportunities.

Integrity

We believe that respectful and honest service, uncompromising standards, a culture of dignity and respect, and transparency in reporting are the foundation upon which we hold ourselves accountable to our supporters, our constituents, and the community.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness

We realise that educational equity and excellence takes a diverse coalition of people united around a common purpose and shared values. As a result, we believe our efforts to transform marginalised and undeserved communities must be shaped by those who are directly impacted by the educational, social, and economic inequities. In order to create progress, we believe that each of us need to work, respect, and communicate effectively with our various stakeholders (e.g., students, parents, partners) with diverse backgrounds (e.g., cultural, educational, political).

Our Core Beliefs

Diversity is vital for successful change efforts and is one of Digital Classroom’s greatest strengths.

The full potential of our diverse team will be reached only when we are an inclusive community.

The success or failure of the children, youth, and adults we serve in our organisation should not correlate with any social, cultural or other identity-based factors.

We see every challenge as an opportunity to learn, grow, and think expansively about solutions. When faced with obstacles, we deepen our resolve, adapt, and persist with optimism.
