INTEGRITY
We conduct ourselves with respect and strive to uphold Connectedly’s shared values and mission. We practice honesty with ourselves and others. We hold ourselves and each other accountable to carry out our responsibilities as well as to own our missteps.
EQUITY & INCLUSION
Connectedly works to develop policies and practices which remove barriers to opportunities and resources, especially for those who face systemic imbalances. We foster a culture which is accessible and welcoming to all individuals and honors our differences. 
EMPATHY & COMPASSION
Connectedly supports older adults with kindness, patience, and respect. We listen carefully to the individuals and families in the communities we serve without judgement so that we can understand their feelings and experiences. We extend these practices to each other as well.  
COLLABORATION
Connectedly values the strengths and perspectives of others. Our team members share insights, support, and resources with each other to ensure good outcomes. We seek the opportunity to partner with other organizations and institutions for creative and sustainable methods to serve older adults. We welcome our participants to share their thoughts and talents to foster growth in our programming.  
ADAPTABILITY
Connectedly embraces growth and change. We face challenges together to solve problems effectively. We pay attention to shifting needs expressed by older adults, adjusting our work to continue supporting their well-being.
