MYAN Values WheelOur Vision

MYAN's vision is that youth feel valued, empowered and prepared to engage in and improve their communities.


Our Mission

MYAN's mission is to empower and prepare youth and adults to partner for positive change by offering them training, networking and leadership opportunities.
 
 

Our Values

We strongly believe in the power of youth and adult partnerships and the capacity we all have to change the world we live in. Our youth & adult staff identified six core values to guide our work together, pictured in the "MYAN Values Wheel" (see graphic).


Our Approach

MYAN's work is grounded in the models and philosophies of positive youth development. We aim to recognize each individual'sstrengths, help people to branch out from these strengths to build new confidence and competencies, and then support them as they create positive new connections and contribute to their communities.
 

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

 ~Margaret Mead

 

  
 

MYAN believes youth are essential partners in creating

community change of all types, and that we all have the

capacity to be involved and effective citizens.
