The Kingdom of Hearts, Core Values: Advocacy:

Value #1: Caring for Self (body, soul and spirit) and Others Believing in the worth and dignity of individuals and caring for self and others.

Value #2: Promoting Ethical Practice Ethical practice starts as a condition of the heart and proceeds to our homes, children, church and our work place.

Value #3: Respecting Diversity Recognition of the importance of respecting and encouraging different perspectives and valuing the contributions of all cultures, groups, and individuals.

Value #4: Encouraging Positive Change Beliefs that change in people, organizations, institutions and society can be facilitated in a positive manner.

Value #5: Acquiring and Using Knowledge Commitments to the importance of being open to listening to new concepts that when used become principles and wisdom that make our own lives better and everyone around us that we influence. Knowledge is power. Our words to others either have power or not. If not it is because our words are shallow and have little value.

Value #6: Encouraging and Enhancing Leadership Willingness to mentor and nurture leaders who will advocate for positive change on behalf of the people we meet in life. We all lead by example more than what we say. People see in us things that work or don’t work and are influenced by what they see.

Value #7: Promoting Collaboration Working in a collaborative manner: We are not alone and no one is an island unto themselves that is unless we do not respect others. These values cross geographical, denominational and economic boarders.
