A Commitment to Excellence
Our Values In Action
At Sonnenberg, our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is woven into the fabric of our organization. It's guided by our six core values, which serve as a compass for how we interact with each other and with our clients. These aren't just principles we talk about; they're the actions we take every day to build a truly supportive and inclusive environment.
Our Core Values

Growth Mindset: What's the next challenge? We encourage and recognize growth, development and curiosity.
Equitable Access: The organization provides the same opportunity for resources and support to elevate each individual and strengthen the Sonnenberg community​

they function.​
Communication with Respect: We communicate empathetically, compassionately, and with acceptance. We take the other person's perspective.
Accountability: We set boundaries and hold ourselves and others to them in ways that
are consistent with Sonnenberg's values.
Pragmatic/Solution Oriented: We focus on what works and people are appreciated for contributing to the organization
By living these values, we're actively building a more inclusive and equitable future for our staff, our clients, and the communities we serve.
