Culture & Values
In working to improve the community, YDN lives and breathes the same core principles we inspire others to bring to their work with youth. YDN hires and grows highly talented people who are committed to youth success and the following core values, which are the heart of its success:
Relationships
We build open and honest relationships that foster knowledge and trust. In this way everyone’s unique ideas are brought to bear, and the results are awesome.
Fun
We bring a positive team and family spirit to our work. We create ways to enjoy the work, and engage the heart and soul.
Change
We embrace and drive change. To do this, we must be more curious than certain. Continuous improvement often means doing things differently.
Social Justice
To promote inclusion, our work honors diversity, equal voice and equal choice for all.
YDN’s mission is to create environments where people are valued for who they are and supported in becoming their best. Through training, networking, and professional development, YDN delivers customized solutions for communities, youth-serving organizations, schools, faith groups, justice agencies, and businesses. Its programs aim to improve service quality, foster sustainable change, and strengthen individuals and teams by recognizing their talents and the impact of positive relationships. YDN envisions communities where people thrive, connect, and succeed—personally, academically, and socially.
