Our Mission & VALUES

OUR MISSION

Through immersive learning, real-world work experience, and a network of supportive professional mentors, ManifestWorks connects those impacted by foster care, homelessness and incarceration with job opportunities and provides ongoing life and professional skills to support long-term success.

OUR values

Professionalism. We believe in the habits of punctuality, initiative and competence—and a commitment to a growing skill set. 

Indispensability. We believe hard work, attention to detail and performing beyond expectations are crucial to professional success.

Transformation. We believe in the power of personal growth, empowerment and relishing the rewards of our efforts. 

Community:. We believe in ongoing relationships and that we are all made better in the service of each other. 

Integrity: We believe in being responsible with our words and our actions, and honoring both, always to the best of our ability. 

Vocation: We believe in the power of meaningful work and its impact on ourselves, our families and our communities.

Opportunity: We believe that access to living-wage salaries, financial literacy, and ascendant earnings are the best way to overcome generational poverty and exponentially transform lives.   

Support: We believe that trusted healthy relationships, support in times of crisis, and building agency are the basis for lifelong wellness.

Dignity: We believe in supporting the value of the people we serve and the strengths they bring, and we center their needs in our work.
