Campagna Center commits to living the following core values with those we work with and those we serve:

- Compassionate. Engaging in actions that reflect empathy and understanding as we interact with each other and those we serve.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
A community is stronger, more prosperous and productive, more vibrant and creative when all of its members have the opportunity and the resources to reach their potential. This is core to our belief at Campagna Center and the work we do with children and families. We are firmly committed to the tenets of diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our organizational philosophy, values and day-to-day operations.
Because The Campagna Center recognizes that we are part of a nation that has historically judged its people by how they look or by what they believe, rather than for who they are, we are committed to actively reducing the impact of such actions in the following ways:
- We will exert our full influence and resources to fight racism and inequality as well as other barriers to diversity, equity and inclusion for all we serve and for the larger community.
- We will recognize and respect identity tied to race, ethnicity, religion, culture, socioeconomic status, gender expression, sexual orientation, age and physical or mental capability.
- We will support each person with respect and compassion knowing that each person is unique, that each has abilities and needs distinct from all others.
- We will identify and remove all explicit and implicit barriers that impede the ability of those who work with us and those we support in realizing full, constructive, and successful lives.
- We will approach our work understanding that from diversity comes broader insights, better solutions to challenges and ultimately making the organization better able to meet the diverse needs of those it serves.
- We will continuously examine our actions, practices, and policies to ensure they are anti-racist and grounded in diversity, equity and inclusion.
- We believe that those affected by decisions should have a voice in shaping them, and we will actively build in processes that facilitate their input.
By saying we will do these things, we do not guarantee that we will get it right immediately. It only means that we will not be satisfied until we do.
