Our Values, Vision, and Mission

Values

Transformation

We believe in urgent action, innovation, and the necessity of transformation—within the world and our own organization.

Integrity

We are accountable to the people and partners we humbly serve, transparently sharing our results, stories, and lessons.

Diversity

We know that by embracing differences, actively including a variety of voices, and joining together we can solve the world’s most complex problems.

Excellence

We challenge ourselves to the highest level of learning and performance, tapping the best of the human spirit to create impact.

Equality

We believe in the equal value of every human being and the importance of respecting and honoring each individual; we know that change happens through people.

Vision

We seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.

Mission

We aspire to be an effective humanitarian and development actor that focuses on poverty reduction and social justice by building communities and institutions’ resilience holistically.

Focus

Through a holistic resilience approach, YCP focuses its programming on two themes: Gender Justice and Social Inclusion and Disaster Risk Management. Throughout our interventions, we put women and vulnerable groups in the centre because we know that equality and social justice cannot be achieved without their equal engagement.
