Out🌱Grown is an organization working in communities to improve health outcomes and increase environmental awareness for families with children ages 0-5; we commit to the following values and seek to partner with and employ those who embrace and embody their importance.

• Embracing Balance: We recognize the importance of rest and enjoyment in sustaining well-being and productivity, encouraging staff to prioritize self-care and find joy in their work and personal lives.
• Collaborative Problem Solving: We value collaboration and teamwork in problem-solving, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed and collective intelligence is leveraged to address challenges effectively.
• Adaptability in Action: We embrace flexibility as a key driver of success, empowering our people to adapt to changing circumstances and explore innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of families and communities.
• Innovative Disruption: We encourage bold thinking and creative experimentation, inspiring our people to challenge the status quo and disrupt conventional practices in pursuit of new and impactful ways to advance our mission.
• Stewardship: We embody a commitment to stewardship, recognizing our responsibility to safeguard the natural world and nurture its resources for future generations. We integrate sustainable practices into our daily operations and inspire environmental stewardship in those we serve.

At Out🌱Grown, we are committed to fostering equity and inclusivity in our mission to bridge the Baby Nature Gap. We recognize that access to nature and its associated benefits should be universal, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, past or current military service, marital status, parental status, religion, level of formal education, immigrant status, socioeconomic status, ability, geographic location, or other identity.

We acknowledge historical and systemic inequities that have limited access to green spaces and outdoor experiences for certain communities. We strive to dismantle these barriers by actively engaging with and empowering underserved and marginalized families. We prioritize initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within our programs, partnerships, and organizational structure.

Our outreach efforts aim to ensure that all families have equitable opportunities to access nature-rich environments and participate in our programs. We actively seek feedback from diverse communities to inform our programming and ensure that it meets the unique needs and preferences of the families we serve.

Furthermore, we are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and represented. We continuously examine our practices and policies to identify and address any potential biases or inequities.

By prioritizing equity in all aspects of our work, we aspire to create a more just and equitable society where every child and family has the opportunity to thrive through meaningful connections with nature from birth.
