CORE VALUES

THOUGHTFUL RISK

We are not okay with the status quo! We want to continue to push ourselves to take risks, so that we learn from what works and what does not.

LONG GAME

We make decisions about long-term impact, not short-term gains. Maximizing impact, not profit. Healthily investing slowly and steadily.

UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM

We want to do everything we can to address the system, not just the symptom. Encouraging a collective understanding of the problem and exploring community collaboration to identify the solution.

OWNING VS. RENTING

Middlebury is a place we call our own with a great sense of pride which defines our devotion to projects, initiatives, and relationship with our neighborhood.

MAKE IT BETTER

We believe everything we do, can and should get better. We accomplish this by understanding the needs of and actively listening to our neighbors.

PEOPLE FIRST + LAST

We are not okay with the status quo! We want to continue to push ourselves to take risks, so that we learn from what works and what does not.
