Our Values
RESPECT
We use our words and actions to treat others and ourselves with high regard by recognizing one another’s worth, experiences, feelings, actions, and accomplishments.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
We actively and continuously work towards a culture where respect, dignity, belonging, and a celebration of all identities are prominent amongst peers, team members, and organizational leaders. Please see NSRC’s full policy related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
COMMUNITY
We recognize our role in facilitating sustainability and connectedness within our neighborhoods and our larger West Michigan community. We strive to positively impact the spaces we are a part of and the people within them.
COMMITMENT
We recognize the value of setting difficult-to-reach goals and a plan to achieve those goals. We know that there may be challenges along the way but we show commitment to our teammates and ourselves by persevering.
Teamwork
When working collaboratively and cooperatively with one another, we can create success for our teammates, our communities, and ourselves.
SAFETY
We believe that everyone plays a role in keeping our peers and ourselves safe at all times. We thoughtfully use our words and actions in a way that maintains a safe environment for all.
EXCELLENCE
We strive to be our best selves in everything that we do. We know that success is a journey that looks different for everyone.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We hold ourselves responsible for our own decisions, actions, and results we achieve. We recognize that these may not only impact us individually, but may also impact our peers, the team, and our communities.
