The Good Shepherd Alliance, Inc. seeks to develop our organization, enlist community partners, and recruit staff and volunteers according to the following principles:
- We will view our clients and our surrounding community as our guests and neighbors with whom we wish to cultivate a relationship rather than seeing them as having problems to be resolved.
- We will collaborate with community leaders, citizens, local government, educational institutions, human-service organizations, businesses, congregations, foundations, and other non-profit organizations to develop a spirit of inclusion and partnership.
- We will create programs that open avenues to self-sufficiency, which will allow our guests to become productive and valuable members of our community.
- We will seek to develop innovative cross-sectional partnerships by involving our guests in opportunities where they can offer their skills and leadership in the ongoing programs of The Good Shepherd Alliance, Inc. and those of our community partners.
