At Cultural Survival, our staff and board have come together to agree and manifest what we believe are the core values of our organization, both internally as members of a team, and externally among our wider kin, partners, donors, and members, partner organizations, and stakeholders. Developing this list of values and principles has been a multi-stage process inclusive of Cultural Survival’s full staff, senior leadership, and board of directors over a period of months.
