Work driven by Core Values:

 

Acceptance

When we accept each individual for who they are by celebrating and respecting differences, beliefs, backgrounds, and lived experiences, we will enrich our community, culture, and understanding of each other.

Belonging

When an individual belongs and is accepted, they are able to grow, take risks, learn and achieve goals.

Empowerment

When Individuals are empowered with the freedom, both independently and with support, to make informed decisions and advocate for their needs, rights, choices, and goals, they live more self-fulfilled lives.

 

In order to support these values, RCO makes the following commitments:

  • We will foster genuine connections through mutual respect and trust in order to support individuals to achieve their goals, experience personal growth and live the life that they choose.

  • We will support and empower individuals to advocate for their needs, rights, choices, and goals by ensuring the opportunity to use their own voice through self-advocacy or in collaboration with those they choose.

  • We will be transparent and accountable for the responsible and respectful use of time, resources and funds that are available to meet the needs and goals of the individuals we serve.

  • We will continuously develop and adjust our practices in order to provide high-quality, person-centered, and accessible services that are driven by the needs and perspectives of those we serve.
