Our Journey in Music

Black and White Photo of Patti Smith with the words, "people have the power"

Music has tremendous power. The power to incite emotions and make us feel like we’re in a different place or time. It creates a feeling of flow and ease in our lives. It lifts our spirits when we’re not feeling our best. 

Music is an important part of our journey. The Values team embraces all genres of music. We’re continually cultivating our playlist to share with all of you to enjoy. Our top tune, our signature song, is Patti Smith’s “People Have the Power.” It reminds us that people have the power to make change that impacts their lives and their communities. 

Our Values Turns 20 in ‘25 playlist is extra special. It is comprised of songs that relate to our mission, and songs that mark the passing of time. For example, did you know that Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day topped the charts when Values Into Action was incorporated in March 2005? Interestingly, it’s about walking alone, and it’s our mission to partner with people with disabilities on their life journey and help build connections, so people are not alone.
