About You
Dreamers – the people who see a problem and dare to do something about it – are who Alongside Partners was made for.
We work best with people who:
Roll up their sleeves and get things done
Recognize and celebrate everyone's expertise
Are highly collaborative
Value piloting and innovating, understanding that failure is part of the process
Have an idea and need help bringing it to life
Work in service of the greater good
If this describes you and your organization, we would love to work together.
Our
Values
Partnership
We believe in partnering. We roll up our sleeves and work with you to achieve your dreams.
Compassion
We strive to see people. To recognize the humanity in each and every person. To understand that we are holistic beings, not one-dimensional. We all have stories; compassion allows each person to share their authentic stories rather than us writing what we think their story should be.
Respect
We all bring strengths and weaknesses to our work, and we all have something to learn from each other. When we approach our work with humility, we can build something together that is far greater than the sum of our parts.
Creativity
We understand and value a strong foundation and tradition, but we never let the past hold us back from trying new things and innovating. Creativity is to be cherished because we know it is intimidating, it sometimes involves failure, and can take time and effort. But we know that by allowing space for creativity, we can work together to create a more beautiful future.
