Our Values
Our Principles
For over 50 years, The Women’s Building has been a cornerstone for organizations and individuals advocating for women’s rights. Our mission is to cultivate a thriving, inclusive community where everyone has equitable access to essential resources. These core values are the foundation of our organization’s ethos, guiding everything we do:
Welcoming and Safe Space
We strive to create an inviting, homelike environment where everyone is welcomed with open arms. At TWB, all individuals are treated with respect, honesty, and acceptance, without judgment. Allowing them to express themselves and their identities freely. This atmosphere fosters trust and a deep sense of safety.
Creating Community
At TWB, our clients experience a genuine sense of belonging. Through relationships with staff who share lived experiences and demonstrate empathy, we build strong social connections that combat isolation and strengthen the community fabric.
Respect for Client Self-Determination
We meet our clients where they are, without imposing preconceptions or directing them into predefined services. Instead, we empower them to navigate their own paths, respecting their autonomy and confidentiality. Our clients can rely on our staff for consistent, high-quality information and services.
Accessibility
We are dedicated to being a connector for our clients, providing convenient and easy access to resources that address barriers such as language and physical needs. Our staff are approachable, ensuring that everyone can access the support they need.
Low-Barrier Access to Services
We are committed to offering services that are accessible to all by minimizing or removing barriers. By eliminating the need for registration and other obstacles, we create safe and welcoming entry points that ensure equitable access for everyone in our community.
