Organization Values
Connection—
We’re committed to connecting Penn Treaty School with the local community (including individuals, businesses, and faith communities), and the community with Penn Treaty School; connecting alumni with current students; connecting parents with the school, and the school with parents; connecting students with volunteer opportunities outside of the school; connecting t
eachers, students, and families to resources. Empowerment—
We’re committed to empowering alumni to give back; the community to overcome their suspicion of public schools and teenagers; Penn Treaty teachers to reach out for help and form partnerships with the community; volunteers to meet tangible needs. Reconciliation—
We’re committed to addressing issues/concerns voiced by ALL stakeholders, a group that includes people of a variety of language, racial, economic, religious, political, etc. There is great need for this in an area of both de facto segregation and gentrification. Consistency—
We’re committed to being a consistent support for Penn Treaty School. In the current educational climate, resources, personnel, programs, and finances come and go. We are creating a sustainable group that is not reliant on any one person or funding source. We recognize that both short-term and long-term solutions are needed and that trust is a prerequisite.
