Core Principles
Eastside’s fundamental guiding principles are as follows:
- Communities prosper and remain vital when there is a high degree of interrelatedness, connectivity and collaboration amongst and between the component parts of that community. The component parts include families, children, public systems, nonprofits and faith-based entities.
- Families are empowered to effectively address and/or solve problems that they face on a day-to-day basis when they have access to a variety of helping services at the neighborhood level.
- Children are prepared to become effective citizens in their communities when they are nurtured and developed in loving, safe, and vibrant communities.
- Service to one’s community is the highest calling to which one can respond.
