*VISION*
Growing Justice is committed to working from a racial, social and economic justice perspective.
We believe that all people deserve to live in communities that promote equity, freedom and safety. Our work is in alignment with those values and general principles.
For the past 10 years the Director of Growing Justice (GJ) has worked in media, communications, political advocacy, campaign management and leadership development.
We have a range of services that mirror our own leadership experience and development.
*GOAL*
Our organization was created to fill a need in the public and private sector. Growing Justice will work with organizations that aim to eliminate or drastically curb human suffering.
*VALUE DRIVEN*
To be value driven is to lead with your mind, body and spirit. Growing Justice is an organization that focuses on the development of individuals, organizations and communities.
In order for communities to change we know that people must change. It must be a simultaneous partnership where the needs of the people are met with the alterations of community conditions.
Just and fair inclusion. An equitable society is one in which all can participate and prosper. The goals of equity must be to create conditions that allow all to reach their full potential. In short, equity creates a path from hope to change.
*PEOPLE POWER*
We believe that the best solutions to society's issues will be met with valuable and creative strategies by the people and for the people.
In order for this to happen, all people need to be educated and provided with the community support that is necessary to change the world.
Our communities should be in our hands. We believe that over time our work will encourage global citizenry and revive a movement for justice.

Her work with youth in training and mentoring them how to be strong leaders in their community is proven in their testimonials. I interviewed each fellow at the end of their fellowship. Each of them were aware of the issues that impacted them and gave insightful solutions to each issue." - Anonymous
