Our Values – What We Stand For

Young People Are Our Compass.

Sojourners’ role is to listen, guide, and build trust so young people gain the tools to shape their own lives.  We respect their right to make choices.

 

Unconditional Commitment to Young People

Sojourners meets young people where they are.  We recognize their challenges, resilience, and creativity and help them move forward with support that’s realistic and individualized.

Relationships are the Work

Sojourners builds trust by showing up.   We know that meaningful change grows from genuine connection, openness and empathy.

Family Is Foundational

Sojourners strengthens and supports families.  Family connection is essential to the growth and development of us all.  These families may be biological, adoptive, or chosen.

All Are Welcome Here

Sojourners welcomes all young people and we stand firmly against discrimination, bigotry, and hate in any form.

Safe Housing is a Right

Sojourners advocates for housing. Every young person deserves a safe, stable place to live.   Safe housing is a foundation for wellness, growth, and resiliency.
