Core Values and their definitions:
we have found that our confidence is obscured by the bonds of poverty, ignorance and hopelessness in the future. But, to have hope for the future we must have
confidence in ourselves.
Central to the human dignity of people is their education and training to “undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free” (Isaiah). To succeed we must devote
every effort, in mind and spirit, to help individuals and their families. Through the catalyst of FIELD’s programs, tens of thousands of men and women will have
discovered a new sense of self-worth. FIELD’s graduates will be confident in their abilities, proud of their accomplishments, and inspired by the emerging
transformation of their communities.
Now is the time to take longer strides to break these bonds and to transform our community to greatness. We must do our part to create champion communities
uplifted with a renewed sense of purpose for our future generations. Our children will be prepared for an abundance of opportunities. Their role models will not only
be found in tattered historical textbooks but in the faces and conversations at their nightly dinner table.
