Our mission is to assist individuals, students, teachers, administrators, families, couples, and organizations to access, develop, and practice their virtues through training and facilitation, in the Northwest United States, nationally, and internationally.

• Commitment to Service. We give the best possible service in everything we do. Service is giving to others and wanting to make a difference in the lives of others.
• Integrity. We tell the truth and deal with others honestly and with tact. We "walk our talk."
• Unity. People of all ages, cultures, races, and faith traditions are people of virtues. Our goal is to include all people and create unity.
• Excellence. We strive for excellence in every thing we do. Excellence is practiced by preparation, consultation, and follow-through.
• Respect. We treat everyone with respect. We communicate clearly, say what we will do and do it.
