Bayview’s Values

 

Reciprocity

We work for one another’s mutual benefit and understand that what’s good for one is good for all. We know that connection and interdependence among all people strengthens the fabric.


Voice

We listen, engage and respond to each other in an intentionally unbiased and inclusive manner. The health of the Bayview community is served when everyone is heard, understood and included.


Diversity

We respect and value differences as we co-create welcoming spaces for people of all backgrounds, identities, and cultures. Bayview is richer for our differences.


creativity

We believe in the transformative  power of self-expression through  the arts. Imagination helps Bayview  develop innovative solutions, inspire others, and advance social justice.


Belonging

We ensure that everyone at Bayview has agency, and is valued and celebrated as an essential part of the community.


stewardship

We strive to be honest, responsible, and trustworthy as demonstrated through our responsiveness and commitment to caring for the community and the resources entrusted to us.


Anti-racism & equity

We create an inclusive community to address unjust and inequitable systems.  We recognize the needs of BIPOC and work in good faith to achieve fairness, and denounce white supremacy and other forms of prejudice.
