Core Values:
Equity: NCPeds believe they must actively change unjust policies, practices and norms that can prevent some children from receiving fair treatment and accessing the resources and opportunities they need to grow up healthy and thrive. Collaboration: NCPeds believe that they are more effective at achieving their goals when they work together with humility, honesty, and a shared commitment to put children first. Integrity: NCPeds believe in leading with honesty, respect, and a steadfast focus on centering the health and well-being of children in their decision-making and actions. Respect: NCPeds strive to understand and honor the perspectives and experiences of others, especially when they are different from their own.
