OnSide Youth Zones Values As a Youth Zone community our values provide us with cohesion as a group. We celebrate our differences; however these values help ensure our actions, behaviour and motivations as colleagues and volunteers reflect our shared vision. 1. Serving Young People Focus on serving young people Continuous improvement in the service we offer Building relationships We are dedicated to the development of young people and shall always strive to provide them with an environment and activities that will best inspire and develop them; that can deliver the factor and ‘wow’ leave a lasting impression. We shall work to high standards and go the extra mile to build strong, positive relationships with young people. We welcome all young people as they are, and support them to make good decisions, ensuring their changing needs remain at the heart of our services. 2. Can-Do Approach Getting results Motivating others Determination We shall deliver exceptional results through our passion and energy, pushing the bar higher. We will encourage ourselves and others to take on new challenges, whilst offering support and seeking advice at times, with a real pride in what we do. We must be resilient and determined to achieve our goals. We all understand that sometimes we will not get there but often we will achieve spectacular success. 3. Teamwork Openness Supporting others Valuing and respecting others In our network every job and volunteer role is important. We value each person and his or her job as much as we value our own. We recognise the efforts of others, whether seen or unseen. We strive to be a team of high quality coaches; sharing our experience and best practice across the network and in turn benefiting from the experience of others. We should encourage different views to our own, and support colleagues in their decisions irrespective of their outcome. We should be able to challenge colleagues openly, speaking up on controversial issues without fear. Therefore, our relationships will develop with each other based on trust, respect and dignity. 4. Doing it Right Acting with integrity Constant personal improvement Developing others We are passionate about doing it right and are happy to seek specialist help when needed.
