Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Thoughtfully created by students, staff, and stakeholders
Our Mission & Vision
WPY collaborates with youth, families, and partner organizations to address long-standing systemic inequities while building a community of belonging and opportunity for Waltham youth. We envision a world where young people have the skills, resources and opportunities to participate fully in their communities and create their own paths to success and well-being.
Our Core Values
Belonging
We will ensure that all young people feel welcome, connected, fully accepted, and loved as they are; their voices are valued and important.
Collaboration
We believe that when we intentionally and proactively build relationships with colleagues, students, families, and community partners, we are better positioned to affect community-level change.
Compassion
We approach all interactions with a sensitivity to the unique lives of others and a commitment to minimizing harm.
Courageous Honesty
Youth-Centered
We believe in the power and potential of all young people and seek to include youth as co-creators of our work.
