We Believe
- Everyone can work.
- Everyone has the right to earn a living wage in a job of their choosing, based on their unique talents, gifts, skills, and interests.
- Employment is a way for people to achieve their personal dreams of success, respect, control, and choice.
- Having a job can be an important part of one’s self-identity and value in society today.
- Everyone should be paid at least minimum wage.
