Our CORE Values
We believe in Empowerment, develops and designs programs that promote community organizing efforts. Making space for marginalized voices instead of allowing mainstream organizations to use NC 100 as a proxy.
We believe in Liberation. NC 100 is supporting individuals and mainstream organizations with creating inclusive processes that account for power imbalances (age, gender, language, etc.).
We believe in developing Authentic Relationships. NC 100 is responsive to community needs and working as directed, while pushing for systemic changes, not just individual.
