March marks the beginning of Spring. A new season with fresh opportunities. The return of warm sunshine and gentle breezes. Increased energy and motivation. The excitement of brighter days.
March also marks the anniversary of Values Into Action.
Similar to the start of Spring, the creation of Values Into Action offered new opportunities. For co-founders, Marian and Paul, and the people who joined in their vision over the past 20 years. Professionals and people using services who trusted in the vision early on. The people who contributed and moved on to make an impact in other ways. The ones who remain engaged, either in employment or through service. All who came together with the hope for something new – a community with a united vision of self-determination for all.
In this video, Marian and Paul share a message to celebrate Values Into Action’s 20th birthday:
Music is an important part of any journey or celebration. That is why, all year long, we are putting together and sharing a community curated playlist!
We want our playlist to be a refection of all of us. Do you have a song that reminds you of Values Into Action? Maybe it’s the song that was playing during a specific memory. Perhaps, something you love listening to with the people you spend time with. Or, it’s a song you feel speaks to our shared values.
Help us to celebrate Values Into Action’s 20th Birthday by adding to our playlist.
In this time of uncertainty, it’s important that we continue to come together. To lean on each other through tough times. To find the joy in the day to day. To take the time to celebrate with each other.
Today, we celebrate YOU, us, and our collective future.
Happy 20th Birthday, Values Into Action!
