At Village Roots, our values guide everything we do: from how we serve families to how we work together as a team. These are more than just words on paper. They shape how we hire, how we lead, how we make decisions, and how we show up in our community. We believe strong organizations are built on shared values. These are ours:

💛 Lead with heart: We treat everyone - families, teammates, and partners - with empathy, kindness, and genuine care. Compassion isn't just how we serve; it’s how we work.

✨ People come as they are: We meet folks where they are, without judgment. Whether you're walking through our doors for help or joining our team, you’ll be welcomed with respect and dignity.

🧩 See the whole picture: We take a holistic approach - to our work, our relationships, and our leadership. We consider the full story, not just what’s on the surface.

🤝 Built on trust: We earn trust through transparency, reliability, and mutual respect. Whether we’re working with families, community partners, or state systems, trust is the foundation of everything we do.
