Resilience

It is not about been perfect. We believe everyone can bounce back and refocus after failure. We will help our young people and staff to finding reasons to succeed and stick to plan and routines even when not convenient.

Elastikos-Empathy

Empathy

We are committed to ‘Seek First to Understand. Then to Be Understood’. Prioritizing our young people and team member’s point of view. Intentionally give value to other person’s perspective. Examine our motives. Actively Listen.

Elastikos-Develop

Development

We are committed to see our young people and staff grow and develop personally and professionally. Constantly challenging and stretching ourselves in learning and development.

Our focus is much more than education, training and employment for the young person.

We use systemic ideas to work with young people to bring about transformational and lasting change that helps them not only take ownership but also develop positive relationship with their social and environmental connections.
