Our Mission & Values

Values

At the core of our organization are values that guide our actions, decisions, and narratives. For Family Law CASA of King County, these values also encompass the promises we make to our community:

Equity

We celebrate diversity and endeavor to be inclusive and show respect to all people regardless of identities and cultures such as race, gender, ability or sexual orientation. We aim to be conscious of cultural dynamics and continue to educate ourselves. We seek to create a welcoming environment with open communication. With the majority of CASA families being BIPOC, we want to particularly acknowledge the systemic racism faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and our commitment to embracing and demonstrating anti-racism.

Compassion

We are thoughtful in our approach to working with children and families, understanding that we have a big responsibility. We strive to be open, unbiased, trauma-informed and empathetic as we step into the lives of a diverse group of families.

Integrity

We embody trustworthiness and transparency in all aspects of our work. We are committed to the highest ethical and professional standards. We hold ourselves accountable for our actions and strive to be responsible stewards of our financial and human resources.

Levity

Our mission-driven work can be heavy and stressful, so we strive to bring levity and fun into our work environment whenever possible. We celebrate each other and our accomplishments together and take time to support other organizations doing good work in our community.

Gratitude

We sincerely appreciate all our volunteers, donors, board, staff and other stakeholders and acknowledge the importance of their contributions. We make gratitude a daily practice.

Quality

Our team aims for excellence at all times and in everything we do. We constantly evaluate our work to ensure the highest impact for children’s well-being.

Collaboration

We build and maintain authentic and respectful relationships with our volunteers, staff, board, and donors. We listen to and embrace the rich and diverse knowledge, experience and passion people bring to our shared work.

Adaptability

We recognize that we live in a dynamic, changing world and we approach our work with flexibility and a growth mindset.
