Team First (Wolfpack Mentality)

• You don’t act solo—you thrive in community. You shoulder burdens, build deep client relationships, and show up with loyalty and empathy.

Take Action

• You don’t wait for permission. You leap. You tackle hard tasks early, follow through without prompting, and own your results.

Play All In

• You care deeply—about the work, the mission, and the people. You commit to excellence and are relentless in the pursuit of justice.

Get to Yes

• You are tenacious. You break down walls (ethically). You don’t give up—ever. You seek creative, right solutions and see adversity as your challenge to overcome.
