Values


Environment Shapes Behavior
Everything about the physical, emotional and philosophical atmosphere at HopeCAT is purposeful – the way the light fills the rooms, the art on the wall, the friendliness of our staff. We believe that everyone, no matter their background, deserves beauty, respect and the opportunity to learn in a safe space. When provided with these, the undeserved will become world-class, productive citizens.

People Are Assets 
We believe that people are born as assets. Given the proper positive environment, any person can grow the seed of personal genius buried inside them. By providing encouragement, opportunity and resources, we strive to keep community members, young and older, on the positive side of the social balance sheet.

Creativity Fuels Enterprise 
Society and the economy is driven forward when new ideas become reality. At HopeCAT, we embrace and encourage creative thought. Given the chance to dream, anyone may have an opportunity to create something – a product, artwork, a business – that will change the world.  We implement these principles in many ways – adult career training, youth arts education, social enterprise – but the end result is a better way forward for our community.  In addition to our core principles, our values are taught and lived in every aspect of our organization.
