Two people + 7 values =

My answer – The San Diego Coastkeeper. The Two people are the original founders of this community-based advocacy group which is now the 15th Waterkeeper organization in the country. They are now a 15 team organization that relies on 7 values to reach its mission. These values are Impactful, Thoughtful, Courageous, Transparent, Collaborative, Passionate, and Exemplar.

These values resonated with me. Change a few words of their descriptions and I feel they are speaking to my commitment to creating schools that are diverse and socially just. After browsing their website, I am confident I picked a community service project for Wednesday, December 1 that will speak to more than my passion for helping others and the environment.

It is not too late to join the NAIS community in one of two community service projects. Come on, PoCC and SDLC participants, get your grove on in San Diego.
